Okolie, who is guided by Joshua’s 258 Management, can claim the vacant WBO cruiserweight championship with victory over Krzysztof Glowacki on Saturday night.
Okolie, 27, was due to face Krzysztof Glowacki for the vacant WBO world cruiserweight title until the Polish fighter tested positive for COVID-19.
British boxer Okolie will bid for a maiden world title in his home city on December 12 when Joshua puts his WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts on the line against Bulgaria’s Pulev at the O2 Arena.
Joshua and Okolie are set to face Kubrat Pulev and Krzysztof Glowacki respectively, two weeks before Christmas.
