WBO cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie returns to the ring tonight when he fights Polish rival Michal Cieslak.
His second defence will be at the O2 Arena in London, England.
While Okolie had hoped to fight Mairis Breidis - the IBF belt holder - the Latvian instead had to honour a mandatory defence against Jai Opetaia.
The Briton is planning for a likely move up to heavyweight, but will want to keep his career momentum going after establishing himself as one of the best in the division.
