Team GB Olympian Orie joins Queensberry

Paris 2024 super heavyweight Delicious Orie has joined forces with Frank Warren ahead of his planned professional debut

Queensberry Boxing announced today that they’d signed Delicious Orie, Team GB’s Paris super heavyweight, ahead of his professional debut.

“I can’t wait to get this next chapter underway. I’ve put the heartbreak of Paris behind me and look back on my amateur career with pride.

“A home Commonwealth Games where I won my first major gold and closing the European Championship as Team GB’s flag bearer with a gold medal round my neck were definitely the highlights. I’d like to thank GB Boxing and Team GB for all their support over the past few years.

“I’ve teamed up with Steel City gym, STN Sports and Queensberry Promotions, who together I feel are the team that will take me to the top of the heavyweight division. Queensberry is the home of heavyweight boxing and have a long tradition of developing boxers the right way and building superstars. I can’t wait to get going.”

The 27-year-old Orie went one-and-done at the Olympics, dropping a 3-2 decision to Armenia’s Davit Chaloyan in the opening round. Frank Warren has done a solid job of managing fellow heavyweight hopeful Moses Itauma, so hopefully he’ll be in good hands.
