Lawrence Okolie, a former Master of Libra in circuitous weight and British weight, called for the fight against “Body Snatcher” to resolve his long -lasting feud.
“It’s a fight I wanted,” said the 32-year-old TalkSport.
“I remember when we were together at the last press conference, I said Win, Lose or Loss Fus, we must fight.
“We hugged our hands, but you must ask Frank Warren why the fight is not happening.
“He was running frightened to the left, on the right and in the middle and simply categorically says that he would not fight with me for any reason.
“So the fact that he has withdrew now, I am relatively free, is relatively free.
“I think that if there is time now to do it, why not now?”
