The Queensberry promoter said the goal is to keep Olaniyan in the ring frequently as he builds experience during his first full season as a professional heavyweight.
Olaniyan confirmed those plans in a post-fight interview, explaining that discussions with Warren and his management team have already focused on a packed schedule.
“We have a very busy schedule,” Olaniyan said to iFL TV. “Frank has promised me I’m going to be the busiest prospect in world boxing this year. So it’s going to be a really, really interesting year.”
The approach reflects a traditional development path for young heavyweights, where regular fights are used to build rounds and professional experience early in a career. Olaniyan arrives in the paid ranks with a strong amateur background that includes success in European youth competition and appearances in major international tournaments.
His first professional training camp also marked a shift in preparation compared to his amateur days.
“I’ve always been a workhorse, but this has brought out a new level in me,” Olaniyan said. “I’m working harder than I’ve ever worked. Harder than I trained for the World Championships and the Europeans.”
Despite the scale of the Dublin event and a sold-out crowd inside the 3Arena, Olaniyan said the environment did not affect his focus during his debut.
“I think I’m an under-the-lights fighter,” he said. “There could be 10 people there. There could be 10 million people there. I don’t think it really bothers me. I know what I’m there for.”
The early plan from Queensberry is straightforward: keep the 20-year-old heavyweight active while gradually increasing the level of opposition. If Warren follows through on the promise of frequent appearances, Olaniyan could spend much of 2026 gaining experience in the ring as his team begins mapping out the longer path for the young Dublin heavyweight.
