Lucas Roehrig has signed a promotional deal with Zuffa Boxing and will fight on Sky Sports. The 23-year-old cruiserweight will next fight on Zuffa Boxing 12 at the Copper Box Arena on November 7, live on Sky Sports. His trainer and mentor is former world champion George Groves.

Roehrig has been flawless in his professional career. The young Londoner has won nine fights, never been defeated, and has taken five wins inside the distance. He made his pro debut in 2024, halting former English champion Joel McIntyre in three rounds. Last year he shut out American prospect Brian Jones over six rounds. His last two fights were consecutive stoppage victories over Adam Kolarik and Faton Tolaj at York Hall.

"I'm really excited. This is a new chapter for me," Roehrig told Sky Sports News. "Zuffa have come onto the scene and made a big splash, and for where I'm at in my career right now, that's exactly what I want to do too."

Roehrig joins a promotional powerhouse with a strong cruiserweight stable, including Jai Opetaia, Chris Billam-Smith, and Ryan Rozicki. "I've said numerous times that I'm aiming for world titles," he said. "Our first fight will be November 7. Make a splash, and then from there keep building."
