Once again he won on points against Slovakian Jozef Jurko.[7] On the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Daniel Dubois in his hometown Wrocław, Lapin stopped German Aro Schwarz in the sixth round to capture the vacant IBO Continental light heavyweight title.[8]
Lapin took part in the undisputed heavyweight title fight Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He knocked out Octavio Pudivitr in the first round.[9]
Returning to Kingdom Arena as part of the undercard for the rematch between Usyk and Fury on 21 December 2024, Lapin defeated Dylan Colin by unanimous decision to win the vacant IBF Intercontinental light-heavyweight title.[10]
