World champion Nick Ball, middleweight star Hamzah Sheeraz and heavyweight sensation Moses Itauma have signed long-term deals with Frank Warren's Queensberry.

Belfast's IBF super-featherweight Anthony Cacace has also signed a new deal, alongside super-bantamweight Liam Davies who faces Shabaz Masoud on Saturday in Birmingham.

Undefeated lightweight Sam Noakes, who has 14 stoppages in 15 fights, also committed his future to Queensberry.

Warren secured Ball two world title fights in 2024 and the Liverpudlian is now on track for unification fights.

Ball, 27, is undefeated in 22 fights with one draw and successfully retained his WBA featherweight title on home soil last month.

"That Nick Ball, Anto Cacace and Liam Davies have reached world title status is a particular joy, and the good news is that I am certain there are more world champions to come from this group," Warren said.

Sheeraz appears one fight away from his first world title shot as a professional after 21 wins in a row and a dismantling of European champion Tyler Denny at Wembley Stadium in September.

Teenager Itauma has already been earmarked as a future world champion and will face Australian Demsey McKean on 21 December in a massive step up for the 19-year-old.
