Lawrence Okolie Joins Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions

Lawrence Okolie, the former cruiserweight world champion, has signed with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions as he aims to transition to the heavyweight division. Having previously held the WBO cruiserweight title and the WBC bridgerweight belt, Okolie vacated the latter title to pursue his heavyweight ambitions. Expressing confidence in his new promotional home, he noted that Warren's team represents the best heavyweights in the sport, making it the ideal place for his career's next phase. Warren echoed this sentiment, stating that Okolie possesses the attributes to make a significant impact in heavyweight boxing. Okolie's only professional loss was against Chris Billam-Smith in 2023, and he is determined to become a three-weight world champion. With this signing, Queensberry Promotions bolsters its heavyweight roster, which includes notable fighters like Tyson Fury and Daniel Dubois.
