Ghanaian welterweight boxer Frederick Lawson (27-1, 21 KO) will inch a step closer to the WBC welterweight world title if he defeats South Africa’s Chris Van Heerden (26-2-1) in the co-main event of Evander Holyfield’s Jose Sulaiman World Invitational Tournament on Saturday, August 25th in Toronto, Canada.

According to Lawson whose only career loss was suffered at the hands of Kevin Bizier in 2015, even though he respects his opponent, he will be too strong and hungry for him.

The knockout artist has been on a three-fight winning streak since retiring against Bizier with a broken jaw. He has dispatched the likes of Baishanbo Nasiyiwula, Fidel Monterrosa Munoz and Sakima Mullings during that period.

“Ain’t no stopping Team Lawson now, we’re on the move. Nothing can change the course of my destiny. I respect Chris and his accomplishments but I’m just too strong and hungry for him. Watch me take him apart on fight night. General Okunka is coming to do battle and will surely prevail,” Lawson who now resides in The Bronx and has over 20 knockouts said at a press briefing.
