Depression fears drove Orie's retirement decision

Delicious Orie had the world at his feet when he made his professional debut a year ago. After the Paris Olympics there was a bidding war for him despite the heavyweight failing to win a medal. Frank Warren's Queensberry eventually saw off Eddie Hearn's Matchroom as well as interest from the WWE to sign him.

He was the next big thing in heavyweight boxing. And then a month later, Orie announced his shock decision to walk away from boxing altogether. "I wanted to pull out before the boxing exposed me," he tells BBC Sport.

"I turned pro for the money, I needed the money, only to realise that money gives you a little bit of happiness, it really does, but it gives you zero fulfilment. Nothing. You feel nothing.

" Orie was a standout fighter in the amateur ranks despite only taking up the sport aged 18. Originally from Russia, he moved to the UK as a child with his family. He set high standards for himself, even as a seven-year-old realising the opportunities available to him in the UK.
