Lawrence Okolie wurde vor seinem Schwergewichtskampf am Samstag in Paris gegen Tony Yoka, französischer Olympiasieger von 2016, positiv auf Doping getestet. Die Boxveranstaltung wurde daraufhin abgesagt. Der Veranstalter Queensberry sagte, dass ihm am Montagabend von der Freiwilligen Anti-Doping-Vereinigung (Vada) mitgeteilt wurde, dass Okolie „nach einem Anti-Doping-Test, der vor der Show in Paris an diesem Samstag durchgeführt wurde, einen nachteiligen Befund abgegeben hat“. Der Ex-Cruisergewichtsweltmeister Okolie schrieb dazu in den sozialen Medien: „Bevor sich jemand das Schlimmste vorstellt, nach meiner Bizeps-Verletzung letztes Jahr, habe ich mir während dieses Camps eine Ellbogenverletzung am selben Arm zugezogen. Ich hatte eine Behandlung und jetzt sind wir da. Ich hoffe wirklich, dass der Sinn siegt. Ich werde natürlich vollständig mit allen zuständigen Behörden zusammenarbeiten und bin zuversichtlich, dass jede Untersuchung meinen Namen reinwaschen wird. Ich werde im Moment keine weiteren Kommentare abgeben. Vielen Dank für all eure Unterstützung und bis bald.“ Der 33-jährige Brite stieg 2024 ins Schwergewicht auf. Nun droht ihm eine Sperre von bis zu vier Jahren.

Ben Whittaker unleashed his latest dazzling display at the weekend with another early blowout. But is the newfound fire enough to take him to the top? And if it is, which opponents does he need to get there? The fall of Daniel Kinahan, who last week was arrested in Dubai, will leave many wondering if those who were happy to do business with him a few years ago remain so today. There is breaking news of Lawrence Okolie failing a test. As the show records, we find out that Okolie is on the front foot when it comes to clearing his name.

Two Olympic standouts collide as Lawrence Okolie takes on Tony Yoka in a high-stakes heavyweight showdown that could reshape the division. Okolie brings his awkward, rangy style and knockout power into the ring, looking to impose his physicality and prove he belongs among the elite at heavyweight. Across from him, Yoka—an Olympic gold medalist—aims to showcase his technical brilliance, composure, and calculated approach as he continues his climb back toward the top. In this episode, we break down: The key stylistic battle: Okolie's reach and power vs Yoka's fundamentals and movement Paths to victory for both men X-factors that could decide the fight on the night What a win means for each fighter's future in the heavyweight landscape Is this the night Okolie makes a statement at heavyweight? Or can Yoka outbox and outthink his way to a career-defining win?

Dakota takes the lead, as he covered most of Green's career. Also, Jahmal Harvey, a 2024 U.S. Olympian, got a quality win. In the U.K., light heavyweight Ben Whittaker stopped Braian Nahuel Suarez in one round. It is his second first-round stoppage, but given his pedigree in 2020, Team Great Britain Olympic silver medalist, when will he step up in competition? Since facing Liam Cameron, Whittaker has fought two opponents with little intrigue. Looking to next week, Jarrell Miller will face Lenier Pero in a WBA heavyweight title eliminator, taking place in Las Vegas, which will be telecast on DAZN.The undercard will see lightweight Alan Chaves face veteran Miguel Madueno, junior middleweight Freudis Rojas Jr facing Damian Sosa, and junior featherweight Angel Barrientes taking a step-up in competition since his 2020 loss, facing Isaac Rojas Garcia. In France, on Saturday, DAZN will telecast the 2016 Olympic heavyweight gold medalist, Tony Yoka, against Lawrence Okolie.

Boxing fans got what they wanted when Anthony Joshua knocked out Jake Paul, breaking his jaw in two places. Or did they? That Paul lasted into the sixth round has only given the supposed imposter an even bigger platform to shout from. That he suffered a broken jaw is now his most treasured badge of honour. What did it all really say about both, though? Was Paul better than we expected? Was Joshua worse than we feared? And where does this leave boxing as 2026 approaches? Elsewhere, Troy Williamson continues his incredible comeback when he knocked out Callum Simpson in 10 rounds, Craig Richards turned back a spirited Dan Azeez, and Lawrence Okolie won again at heavyweight. Meanwhile, in America, Terence Crawford retired to leave fans debating his place in history. Merry Christmas you lovely lot. Thank you, so much, for your ongoing support.

Top trainer Joe Gallagher gives his honest and unfiltered reaction to some of the biggest stories in boxing right now — including the WBC ordering Itauma vs Lawrence Okolie, the buzz around a potential Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul fight, and the latest surrounding a Dillian Whyte offer. In this interview:

Während Ben Whittaker am Samstagabend im National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham Benjamin Gavazi spektakulär in der ersten Runde K.o. schlug, wurde in sein Haus in Wednesbury in den West Midlands eingebrochen! Wahrscheinlich mussten sich die Täter beeilen, da der Brite seinen deutschen Kontrahenten nach nur 135 Sekunden besiegte. Whittaker sicherte sich damit den vakanten WBC-Silver-Titel im Halbschwergewicht und gab sein Matchroom-Debüt. Der Brite verriet in einem Instagram-Video, dass die Einbrecher auch seinen IBF-International-Gürtel gestohlen hatten, den er im Juni 2024 durch einen Punktsieg nach zehn Runden gegen Eworitse Ezra Arenyeka gewonnen hatte. In dem Video sieht man das Küchenfenster, durch das die Diebe offenbar eingestiegen waren. Der 28-jährige Whittaker versprach eine Belohnung für jeden, der ihm bei der Ergreifung der Täter helfen kann.
