Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KOs) is a two-weight world champion having won titles at both cruiserweight and heavyweight. The former British, Commonwealth, European, WBA Continental and WBO International champion became WBO world cruiserweight champion in March 2021 with a sixth round knockout of Krzysztof Glowacki at Wembley.

He made three successful defences of his WBO world title before coming up against Chris Billam-Smith in Bournemouth where he was defeated via majority decision in May 2023, having clearly outgrown the weight. In May 2024 he stepped up to the new Bridgerweight division and won the WBC world title with a blistering first round stoppage of Lukasz Rozanski in Poland.

Without making a defence, Okolie joined forces with Frank Warren and Queensberry to make his move up to heavyweight and introduced himself to the division with a stunning first round stoppage of Hussein Muhamed at Wembley in December.

Richard Riakporhe (17-1, 13 KOs) got himself on the title trail back at the end of 2018 when he won the WBA Intercontinental cruiserweight title with his defeat of the previously unbeaten Sam Hyde in Manchester. He defended the belt successfully against highly-rated Belfast man Tommy McCarthy before inflicting a first defeat on Chris Billam-Smith in July 2019.
