"I spoke with all the promoters. Matchroom, Boxxer, Queensberry, Top Rank and Wasserman," Delicious Orie told BBC Sport.

"I went to have dinner with all of them, it was a nice couple of weeks. I got wined and dined," Orie said. "I'd never spent time with them [Frank and George Warren] before but I was so impressed.

"I liked his (George's) image and how he spoke in building me as a fighter. I felt there was a connection and something we could build on for the future. He set the bar high from the beginning.

"I met a lot of other promoters and they know how to speak and how to sell themselves, but there was something special with Queensberry and I believed they would develop me well."

"I checked the account and it was legit, millions of followers and verified. It was real, it was very serious. They wanted me to go out to Florida and try out.

"It was a fantastic experience out there. They were selling me the package and I loved it. From the wrestling, to the acting to the showbusiness. I went out to see shows, sat on the front row and met some legends like Shawn Michaels and Booker T.

"It was like reliving my childhood again, but I decided that professional boxing was the career that I wanted to pursue."
