Lawrence Okolie vs. Tony Yoka: How to watch, date, ringwalks, undercard, prediction, odds

This event has been cancelled after Okolie returned an adverse finding in a VADA drugs test.

On Saturday night, Paris hosts an intriguing heavyweight contest when France's Tony Yoka faces Lawrence Okolie. 

For Yoka, it feels like this a do-or-die encounter when it comes to remaining a serious operator in boxing's blue ribbon division. 

Okolie is ranked number one with the WBC, and a win over the Olympic gold medalist will put him in a prime position to challenge for a world title next. 

It's set to be a noisy night in the French capital, which could turn into a frenzy if Yoka can deliver.
