Okolie vs Tetteh: Date, fight time, undercard, how to watch, prediction, ring walks and odds
24 hours after Matchroom host their first-ever Africa card in Ghana headlined by Craig Richards and Dan Azeez, another Londoner takes centre stage for ‘Chaos in the Ring II’ in Lagos.
Okolie, who has Nigerian parents, fights for just the third time up at heavyweight, having previously reigned as the WBO cruiserweight champion and, for a very short time, the WBC champion at bridgerweight.
‘The Sauce’ – having signed with Frank Warren and Queensberry – stepped up after that devastating first-round knockout of Lukasz Rozanski in Poland and debuted in the sport’s traditional glamour division by producing another against Hussein Muhamed at Wembley Arena 12 months ago.
Okolie followed it with a comfortable if uninspiring 10-round points win over fellow former WBC bridgerweight champion Kevin Lerena as he retained his WBC Silver title on the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois undercard at Wembley Stadium in May.
The WBC recently ordered Okolie to face heavyweight phenom Moses Itauma in a final eliminator, a massive challenge that he says he is willing to take on.
But first he must focus on Tetteh, the journeyman Ghanaian last seen being demolished in the first round by Frazer Clarke on the Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron 2 undercard in Birmingham back in April, when he was furious over the early stoppage.

Okolie vs Tetteh prediction
Okolie has produced two first-round knockouts in his last three fights and you certainly wouldn’t bet against another here.
Despite his fury with the referee, Tetteh was blasted away easily by Clarke earlier this year and it is perhaps a sign of where Whyte currently finds himself that it took him seven rounds to beat the same opponent.
The Ghanaian, now 37, is in for another rough night on Sunday, where Okolie will no doubt be keen to make an emphatic statement having had familiar criticism over his fighting style resurface following a dull meeting with Lerena.
Okolie to win by early knockout.
