Former British heavyweight boxer Larry Olubamiwo is no longer active on the sporting circuit. Instead, he has shifted attention towards cinema and has reportedly bagged a role in Marvel’s ‘Venom: Let There Be Carnage’.
Olubamiwo’s role in the movie is still unspecified, but considering the high-voltage action in the first movie, the Venom sequel can bring back the British heavyweight into some serious action.
As per reports, Olubamiwo has finished shooting for his part and the film will hit the theatres this year. His managers connected with World Boxing News and broke the news, sending several fans into a frenzy.
