WWE has had a long standing relationship with the world of boxing.
WrestleMania 1 had Muhammad Ali as the referee for the main event.
Iron Mike Tyson was the ring enforcer for Stone Cold Steve Austin’s win against Shawn Michaels for the WWE title.
And Floyd Mayweather competed against and beat the Big Show at WrestleMania 24.
Today, there are still those from the boxing world competing in the world of professional wrestling.
Logan Paul was, until recently, the WWE United States champion and Anthony Ogogo has been working for rivals All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019.
So it’s no surprise when another boxer is linked to swap one squared circle for another.
And it seems as if the next name in that list has been identified.

Delicious Orie is a British amateur boxer who won gold medals at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the 2023 European Games.
Unfortunately for Orie, he didn’t get past the first round for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, but he’s proven his fighting credentials already.
At 27-years-old, the Russia born Brit is likely deciding what to do next with his career.
Daily Star are now reporting that the WWE have approached Orie about competing for them.
The super heavyweight has been scouted by their recruitment team and was invited to Orlando to get acquainted with their NXT brand.
As part of that, Orie got to meet WWE hall of famers Shawn Michaels and Booker T.
Speaking about the possibility of him competing in both worlds, Orie was upbeat about the possibilities.
“It’s something we could think about. I want to be an inspiration for people. I know wrestling would increase my profile so much and I want to be a global star, that’s the aim to be known all over the world. Boxing is still something I believe I can be a huge success in.”
Will we be seeing Delicious Orie facing off against the likes of Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton in the near future?
He definitely seems to have all the tools to make it a success in that world if he wishes to pursue it.
