When it comes to heavyweight boxing, Queensberry Promotions isn’t just part of the conversation — they’re leading it.
With a stable that includes half of the top 10 ranked big men across all four major sanctioning bodies, Frank Warren’s powerhouse outfit has become the undisputed headquarters for top-tier heavyweight talent.
From current world champions to rising contenders and hungry prospects, here’s a breakdown of the heavyweight wrecking crew flying the Queensberry flag.
🥊 Daniel Dubois – IBF World Champion
At just 27, Daniel Dubois has transformed from a promising puncher into the division’s form fighter. The reigning IBF champion is riding a red-hot streak with wins over Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic, and a statement-making demolition of Anthony Joshua in front of 96,000 at Wembley. Next up: a colossal undisputed clash with Oleksandr Usyk on July 19.
🥊 Joseph Parker – WBO Interim Champion
Call it a comeback. After being written off post-defeat to Joe Joyce, Joseph Parker has strung together career-best wins over Deontay Wilder, Zhilei Zhang, and Martin Bakole. The former WBO World Champion is now Interim champ and first in line for the Usyk-Dubois winner.
🥊 Fabio Wardley – WBA Interim Champion
Ipswich’s own Fabio Wardley is unbeaten in 20 fights and holds the WBA Interim title following a devastating KO of Justis Huni. He’s also beaten David Adeleye and obliterated Frazer Clarke in a one-round rematch that settled their heated rivalry. Wardley’s rise is real — and far from over.
🥊 Agit Kabayel – WBC Interim Champion
Quietly becoming a dark horse, Agit Kabayel burst onto the world stage with three brutal back-to-back wins over Arslanbek Makhmudov, Frank Sanchez, and Zhilei Zhang. Now the WBC Interim champion, the undefeated German is knocking loudly on the door for a full world title shot.
🥊 Dillian Whyte – The Comeback Trail
Now 36, Dillian Whyte has seen the highs and lows of the sport. From a heated rivalry with Anthony Joshua to a WBC title challenge against Tyson Fury, Whyte’s resume includes wins over Chisora, Parker, and Rivas. Can he still make one last run?
🥊 Derek Chisora – The Ageless Warrior
At 41, Derek Chisora is somehow still in the world title mix — and ranked No.1 by the IBF. With wins over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce, and Otto Wallin, the London brawler is positioning himself for one last crack at gold — likely against stablemate Dubois.
🥊 Moses Itauma – The Future
Still only 20, Moses Itauma is viewed by many as the heir to the heavyweight throne. The undefeated southpaw already holds WBO Intercontinental and WBA International belts and has become a regular on the Riyadh super cards. His first-round KO of Demsey McKean sent shockwaves through the division.
🥊 Lawrence Okolie – Two-Weight World Champion
Already a former WBO Cruiserweight and WBC Bridgerweight world champ, Lawrence Okolie is now chasing glory in boxing’s blue-riband division. The Olympic alum moved up to heavyweight in 2024 and hasn’t missed a beat, capturing the WBC Silver title with a first-round KO of Hussein Muhamed.
🥊 David Adeleye – British Champion
Still just 28, David Adeleye bounced back from a stoppage loss to Wardley by crushing Solomon Dacres and then winning the British heavyweight title with a TKO over Jeamie Tshikeva. He’s rebuilding fast — and violently.
🥊 Filip Hrgovic – Back in the Mix
Former Olympic bronze medallist Filip Hrgovic may have stumbled against Dubois, but he responded by outclassing Joe Joyce to claim the WBO International title in April. The Croatian is right back in the world title hunt.
🥊 Zhilei Zhang – The Veteran Threat
At 42, Zhilei Zhang is still a live threat. The Chinese southpaw stunned Joe Joyce twice, dropped a close one to Parker, and brutally knocked out Deontay Wilder last summer. Though stopped by Kabayel in his last outing, Zhang’s power remains very real.
🥊 Nelson Hysa – The Knockout Machine
Albania’s Nelson Hysa is 23-0 with 21 knockouts — and he doesn’t like to hang around. With belts from the WBC, IBO, and WBO Europe, he’s blitzed the likes of Patrick Korte, Todorche Cvetkov, and Luis Marin Garcia — all in the first round.
🏆 A Division Ruled by One Stable
With multiple champions, elite contenders, and future stars, Queensberry Promotions doesn’t just have depth — it has dominance. Whether it’s headlining in Riyadh, filling stadiums in the UK, or chasing undisputed glory, every major heavyweight storyline seems to run through Queensberry.
If there’s a world title fight on the horizon, don’t be surprised if it’s a Queensberry fighter standing in the red corner — or the blue.
