Perhaps being gifted the best name in boxing was an omen: Delicious Orie is very good with his words. And when sporting 12oz gloves, this well-spoken 27-year-old is also very good with his hands, which took him all the way to the 2024 Olympics as a member of Team GB.
Although Orie’s efforts in Paris ended in early heartbreak, there is trust in his talent; Orie himself has faith, naturally, and so does Frank Warren. With that, Queensberry Promotions has its newest heavyweight in a strong, strong stable. Warren works closely with heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois, Derek Chisora, Fabio Wardley, Lawrence Okolie, Joe Joyce, Moses Itauma, among other prospects, and, of course, the recently retired Tyson Fury. The options are tantalising for British heavyweights right now, with Warren also holding connections with title contenders Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
