But after just one pro fight, which he won in February, the Moscow-born Brit has decided to end his career and focus on a new job. Orie explained his decision in a lengthy statement, which read: "After much reflection, I have decided to hang up my gloves and retire from boxing to follow up on my degree and enter the corporate world. "This sport has given me so much — incredible memories, unforgettable experiences travelling the world and many opportunities to represent my country at the biggest stages in the world. Forever grateful for the journey. "Over time, I've come to recognise that the same fire and love I once had for boxing has gradually faded. "As I've grown, I've come to value clarity and honesty with myself above all. "I hoped that turning professional would reignite the passion, but the truth has become clear: it hasn't. "Every fighter knows you need a deep love for the craft to reach the top - and without it, there's no path forward. "Out of respect for the sport and for myself, it's time to step away with honesty. "To everyone who supported me along the way — thank you. To my coaches, teammates, staff at GB Boxing and to those who stood by me through my (albeit brief) professional journey." He thanked STN Sports chiefs Sean O'Toole and Paul Ready, promoters Frank and George Warren, as well as Grant Smith and his team at Sheffield base Steel City Gym.

USWNT star Mallory Swanson, Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson announce pregnancy
Mallory Swanson has not played with the Chicago Stars at all this season Mallory and Dansby Swanson announced on social media on Wednesday that they are now expecting their first child. (AP/John Amis, File) It turns out that Mallory Swanson had a great reason for missing the start of the Chicago Stars' regular season. Swanson and her husband, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson, announced on social media on Wednesday afternoon that they are now expecting their first child. Swanson had been away from the Stars all season due to what they called personal reasons. She last played in a competitive game in November, when the Red Stars were knocked out of the playoffs. Swanson did not play with the United States Women's National Team in the SheBelieves Cup camps last winter, either. She likely will miss the rest of the season. The team holds just a 1-1-5 record and sits in 14th in the NWSL standings heading into Saturday's matchup with the Washington Spirit. Swanson shined with the USWNT last year, too. She scored a game-winning goal in the team's gold medal match against Brazil in the Pairs Olympics, which was her 100th match with the national team. Mallory and Dansby have been together since 2017, and they got married in 2022, shortly after his final season with the Atlanta Braves. The two-time All-Star is currently in his third season with the Cubs this summer. He holds a .236 batting average with seven home runs and 20 RBI so far this season. The Cubs sit at 22-16 and lead the NL Central heading into Wednesdays' matchup with the New York Mets.
