Britons Dillian Whyte and Joe Joyce will headline a heavyweight-stacked card at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena on Saturday, 5 April.
Olympian Delicious Orie will make his professional debut and former cruiserweight world champion Lawrence Okolie will take on Richard Riakporhe, who also moves up to heavyweight.
In another date on Queensberry Promotions’ schedule, Belfast super-featherweight Anthony Cacace will face Leigh Wood in a battle between two former world champions at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on 10 May.
Later that month, former undisputed light-welterweight champion Josh Taylor will move to welterweight to challenge WBO European title holder Ekow Essuman in Glasgow.
Scotsman Taylor has signed with promoter Frank Warren’s stable for his first fight since losing a rematch to Jack Catterall in May 2024.
The April card will be the first Queensberry Promotions event shown on streaming platform Dazn, as part of a new multi-year deal.
“We are starting as we mean to go on and, as you might expect, the heavyweights will play a big, big part in 2025 and beyond,” Warren said.
