British heavyweight Lawrence Okolie has taken to Instagram to mock rival Dillian Whyte.
Okolie was scheduled to face Richard Riakphore on the undercard of Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic but withdrew due to injury.
He’s since taken to social media to send jibes towards Whyte on his 37th birthday, mocking ‘The Body Snatcher’ about his latest fights and previous accusations of taking performance enhancing substances.
Lawrence Okolie Hits Out At Dillian Whyte’s Career
Both Okolie and Whyte have openly spoken about their dislike for one another over recent years and this latest spat could see the pair meet in the squared circle.
The duo were meant to appear on the same card on April 5th when Whyte was set to face Joe Joyce but also withdrew from his bout with injury.
The social media post read: “Although we’ve had our differences in the past I’d like to wish Dillian Whyte a happy birthday and peaceful retirement.”
“He’s been a great ambassador for the sport and proves being juiced off your tits isn’t a recipe for success.”
“It’s inspiring to see him leave the sport on a high after his recent PPV show against Tetteh and Hammer.”
“I truly believe those are the kind of shows that shaped the landscape of boxing into what it is today and encouraged powerhouses like Riyadh Season and TKO to enter boxing.”
Whyte replied to the comment with a simple response, “Well done my son you are learning.”
Okolie also shared sparring footage of him and Whyte in an attempt to make the fight.
The veteran heavyweight has been critical in the past of Okolie being unable to sell fights and suggesting he has failed in being financially successful during his career.
This latest stunt from the former two-weight world champion may garner interest from British boxing fans to see the pair settle their differences once and for all in the ring.
