24 year old 2016 Olympian, cruiserweight Lawrence Okolie made it win number 2 last night in his second pro appearance on the SSE Hydro card in Glasgow.. Okolie stopped tough Lukasz Rusiewicz inside a round after twice previously dropping the pole with body shots.. Okolie however got a rude awakening a split second before stopping Rusiewicz, he got caught with a solid right hand that bloodied the Londoners nose.. Okolie showed real grit in responding to the shot by setting up the his own right hand to force the stoppage.. Okolie boxed his debut only 2 weeks ago, beating inept Geoff Cave in a round on the Crolla v Linares card.. Okolie was very critical of his performance yet knows he's a relative novice in the sport.. Lawrence is pencilled in to appear on the Wembley show on the 29th of April, supporting fellow Olympian Anthony Joshua.. Okolie moves to 2-0 (2 Ko's) while Rusiewicz drops to 22-30 (13 Ko's)
