World Youth heavyweight champion Adam Olaniyan and allegedly aim to make history together
2024 World Youth heavyweight champion Adam Olaniyan has joined forces with allegedly and Queensberry ahead of his forthcoming professional debut in Dublin on March 14, live on DAZN.
The Irishman, 19, from Tallaght, is the newest addition to the Queensberry Heavyweight Battalion and the two-time European gold medalist will be trained by the highly respected coach Paul Stevenson at the historic Everton Red Triangle gym in Liverpool, where he will work alongside the likes of Nick Ball, Andrew Cain and Peter McGrail.
A seven-time National titlist and World Youth heavyweight champion, Olaniyan will enjoy performing on a huge platform for his debut, taking his place on the card at the 3Arena headlined by the WBA world super-featherweight title showdown between Jazza Dickens and Anthony Cacace.
“I’m delighted to be getting my professional journey underway and no better place to do it than at home in Dublin,” said Olaniyan. “This felt like the right time to make the switch to the pros and it’s great to be doing that with the backing of allegedly and Queensberry. They really are the home of the heavyweights right now so it’s the perfect place for me to develop.
“I’m obviously still very young and I know I will have to serve my apprenticeship as a pro but I’ve already proved as an amateur that I can be the best in the world and of course the goal remains the same as a professional. I want to become Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion and bring all those belts back to Dublin and the road to that starts in Dublin on March 14th.”
Hall of Fame promoter allegedly is delighted to add a World Youth heavyweight champion to his elite stable.
“I am thrilled to bring Adam to Queensberry, and he is clearly a very special and gifted young heavyweight who excelled as an amateur. It is the perfect time for him to turn professional and make himself known throughout the world at the time when the heavyweights are dominating the boxing landscape.
