Still, Lawrence Okolier, who had the advantage of the home side of the game, was bound to win. Before the match began, Lawrence Okole was accompanied by two nigerian-american fighting superstars, UFC champion Isley Adisaya and former world boxing champion Anthony Joshua, who held high the Nigerian flag and Anthony Okoya held aloft the Nigerian flag, and Anthony Joshua held aloft Lawrence Okole's WBO World Boxing Champion Gold Belt, and with these two fighting superstars pressed down on The Michal Cheslak in momentum before the match.
In the first leg of the match, the scrappy Lawrence Okole directly omitted the temptation and attacked as soon as he came up. In the face of a sudden attack, Michal Cheslak was very uncomfortable, so the defense was somewhat out of rhythm, so he was hit by Lawrence Okolier's heavy punch.

Unable to effectively punch a heavy punch, finding the problem, Coach Sean McQuegen, who was in charge of command on the sidelines, asked Lawrence Okole to pull away and leave himself enough to punch and punch hard.
In the third leg of the match, under good distance control, Lawrence Okole's jab punches came into play, successfully hitting Michal Cheslak on several occasions. However, it is also because the distance is pulled apart that Michal Cheslak can play a counterattack, so Michal Cheslak, who has been bored in the first two rounds, can also play a decent counterattack in this round. But once Lawrence Okole punched hard, the difference in strength between the two was revealed. Michal Cheslak was terrified of Lawrence Ocorre's heavy punch, but Michal Cheslak's own heavy punch could not move Lawrence Ocorre.
In the fourth leg of the match, the audience could clearly feel that Michal Cheslak's self-confidence was gradually draining with the passage of time.

In the sixth leg of the match, Lawrence Okole wanted to extend the result, so he kept hitting a combo or two, but surprisingly, Michal Cheslak defended. And from time to time, they fight back.
In the seventh leg of the match, there were some twists and turns in the game, and Michal Cheslak seemed to have become accustomed to Lawrence Okole's style of play, and could fight back without hurrying after encountering an attack, and his beautiful hook punch caused Lawrence Okole and a lot of trouble.
In the eighth leg of the match, Michal Cheslak regained confidence in the exchange. Under the attack of the Poles, the game became fierce. Lawrence Okole had to pick up the spirit to face it cautiously.
