Queensberry Promotions has strengthened its commitment to some of its top talents. The company, led by renowned promoter Frank Warren, has renewed long-term contracts with six high-profile boxers who have demonstrated great potential in the ring. This move ensures that these fighters, some champions and others notable prospects, will continue building their careers under the Queensberry umbrella.
WBA featherweight world champion Nick Ball has recommitted to Queensberry Promotions after successfully defending his title against Ronny Ríos in Liverpool on October 5. Ball has become a key player within the Queensberry team and a fan favorite.
Another world champion renewing his contract is Anthony Cacace, who currently holds the IBO super featherweight world title. Cacace, who recently defended his title successfully against the experienced Josh Warrington at Wembley Stadium, has solidified his position as one of the strongest champions in his division.
IBO super bantamweight world champion Liam Davies has also decided to continue his career under Queensberry’s mantle. Davies is preparing to defend his title against Shabaz Masoud in Birmingham on November 2. With an upward trajectory that includes British and European titles, as well as international WBC and WBO titles, Davies continues to establish himself as a serious contender in his category and aims to demonstrate he can defend his championship on high-level stages.
Hamzah Sheeraz, one of the strongest contenders in the middleweight division, has also signed an extension. Sheeraz boasts an impressive streak of 15 consecutive knockout victories. The WBC Silver and Commonwealth champion has been a prominent figure on the Queensberry team, and his recent win over Tyler Denny at Wembley has further elevated his profile.
Among the signees is also Moses Itauma, a promising heavyweight who has attracted attention since his transition to the professional ranks early last year. Represented by Francis Warren, Itauma has accumulated an undefeated record of 10-0 in just a few months. This young talent is scheduled for his next fight on the preliminary card of the anticipated Usyk vs. Fury rematch, where he will face Demsey McKean, an experienced opponent with a record of 22-1.
Finally, Commonwealth, British, and European lightweight champion Sam Noakes has also renewed his contract. With a professional record of 15-0 and 14 wins by knockout. Noakes’ last fight took place against Gianluca Ceglia on September 6, 2024, in Bethnal Green, United Kingdom. He won by technical knockout in the 8th round.
Frank Warren, the promoter of Queensberry Promotions, expressed his satisfaction with the recent extensions.
“I am thrilled to secure the futures of six such richly talented fighters,” said Warren.
“We have worked with nearly all of them right from the beginning or very early in their careers, and the faith we have shown in each other has been rewarded by them realizing their potential and justifying the belief we had in them.”
“That Nick Ball, Anthony Cacace, and Liam Davies have reached world title status is a particular joy, and the good news is that I am certain there are more world champions to come from this group, who are all set for further exciting developments in the coming months,” Warren concluded.
With these renewals, Queensberry Promotions demonstrates its commitment to the long-term development of its boxers. The promoter continues to establish itself as a solid platform for professional boxing, ensuring the continuity of its elite team and projecting a promising future in the industry.
