Boxer Delicious Orie Reveals He Was Offered WWE Contract Before Turning Pro

Delicious Orie revealed that WWE had offered him a contract before he chose to pursue a professional boxing career. Orie, a member of the Great Britain boxing team for the 2024 Olympics, shared the news during an interview with TalkSPORT’s Ben Davies. Despite the tempting offer from WWE, Orie decided to stay focused on his boxing journey and turned down the deal to continue his path in the sport.

“They contacted me after the Olympics, they tried to sell me the package,” Orie said. “I went out to Florida for a week, I got to experience their shows, the training, the acting, it was beautiful and amazing. I got to meet a lot of the superstars and I got the whole immersive experience, so it was a hard decision. I was offered a contract, so I needed a few weeks to sit down and think about what I really want. It’s one thing earning money, but it’s another thing fulfilling myself in life. If I’m 60 or 70 years old, thinking will I be happy if I go down the WWE route?”

“I thought when I’m older looking back, as long as I give everything to boxing, I will be a happy man. So that is the primary reason I made the decision to go professional and stick to boxing. So we spoke with the team at the performance centre and they said the door is always open. I’ve passed the assessments and they are happy to take me, so you never know in a few years. When I’ve established myself as a professional boxer, I could potentially do some random appearances. In the next few years, they are looking to ramp up the UK scene and they said I’d be the first in mind.”

Orie is scheduled to make his professional debut on April 5th in Manchester.
