Lawrence Okolie warns Chris Billam-Smith and Shane McGuigan

Posted : 11 May 2023
Lawrence Okolie has a caution for sparring-partner-turned-opponent Chris Billam-Smith. Both sides of familiarity apply.
 
When the two of them trained at Shane McGuigan's gym, Billam-Smith served as one of Okolie's main sparring partners.
 
However, Okolie parted ways with McGuigan to work with new trainer SugarHill Steward. He will now face Billam-Smith on May 27 at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth as he defends his WBO cruiserweight title.
 
Due to the many rounds of sparring they have exchanged, and with McGuigan in his corner for the fight, Billam-Smith is certain he has all the knowledge and information he needs to beat Okolie.
 
"I know that they're going to come. Their whole game plan is going to be around getting on my chest and screaming for points, all this stuff," Okolie said.
 
"So I'm very much aware of the psyche that they're into, which is: 'We can't beat Lawrence in a fight. We can't. We can try and get a lucky punch but maybe we can make it a maul and get the crowd behind and throw him off'.
 
Okolie, however, argues that he is equally familiar with both of them.
