Delicious Orie (born 31 May 1997) is a British former professional boxer who as an amateur won gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2023 European Games.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Orie was born in Moscow to a Nigerian father and a Russian mother. Facing racial prejudice due to the colour of his skin, he moved to England at age seven and settled in Wolverhampton a few years later and attended Colton Hills Community School in his teenage years.[3][4] Orie later graduated with a degree in Economics and Management from Aston University in 2020.[5]

His father revealed in a BBC interview that Orie's name was inspired by vocalist Delious Kennedy from the American R&B and pop group All-4-One.

Amateur career

[edit | edit source]

Orie won a bronze medal at the 2022 European Championships.[6]

He won gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England[7] and the 2023 European Games in Poland.[8] In doing the latter he qualified a quota place in the super-heavyweight category for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[9] On 7 June 2024, Orie was officially announced among the Great Britain squad for the Olympics in Paris.[10] He was drawn to fight 2021 AIBA World Boxing Championships silver medalist Davit Chaloyan from Armenia in the first round[11] and lost by 3:2 split decision.[12][13]

Professional career

[edit | edit source]

Orie turned professional in February 2025, signing with Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions.[14][15] He made his pro-debut at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester on 5 April 2025, defeating Milos Veletic on points over four rounds.[16][17]

Retirement

[edit | edit source]

Orie announced his retirement from professional boxing on 27 May 2025, stating that the "fire and love I once had for boxing has gradually faded" and he intended to move into the "corporate world".[18][19]
