Ok was the last man to beat Lee in September 2021 but lost in their rematch 11 months later to relinquish the lightweight title.
Lee has only fought once since, which means Saturday’s fight will see an interim champion crowned.
Ok told the Post he was already looking beyond Rasulov and preparing for a trilogy with Lee.
“Settling the score is important,” the Korean said. “Don’t get me wrong, but I know Christian is champion in both lightweight and welterweight – he is the strongest.
