Three of Queensberry's stacked heavyweight stable were soaking up the atmosphere 3,000 miles away from home on Wednesday as they were ringside guests for a show aptly titled 'Chaos In the Ring' in Lagos, Nigeria.
Brandon Glanton returned to winning ways, breaking down and forcing
Marcus Browne to retire on his stool after six rounds of their 10-round cruiserweight headliner.
Humbled by former WBO world champion Chris Billam-Smith, who outpointed him six months earlier, the 33-year-old spoke about a changed mentality which fuelled him to victory against the former light heavyweight contender.
Before unbeaten heavyweight prospect Emanuel Odiase's destructive first-round finish against the overmatched Idris Afinni in the evening's chief support, it was the turn of three divisional contemporaries to speak on their experiences back in their fatherland.
Moses Itauma appeared pleasantly surprised by the welcome and fan love received on his return to Nigeria, where he hadn't been for over a decade, while
David Adeleye mirrored that appreciation when speaking to DAZN's Ade Oladipo.
"It's humbling, to see so many people come from the place my parents did, big shoutout to Amir Khan and Balmoral Group, they brought a lot of people together," he said. "It's the first time I've been here for 13 years - a long time coming - you don't get used to people speaking Yoruba on the streets, I'm happy to be here and need to make it more of a thing being back."
Okolie, a former WBO cruiserweight champion, echoed that excitement for the future.
"100 per cent," he added. "It's important some of us to get back and fight at home in Nigeria. We've got the connection, got to bring some fight nights here. It's good to see the unity, coming from England to show our support, we're all Queensberry fighters and need to start making it happen."
After the main event, Nigerian promoter Dr Ezekiel Adamu was already planning ahead to their Dec. 19 card.
"We're speaking with David and see if we can bring him for a homecoming fight. We'll speak with Queensberry, he's one of us and we want him to have a big homecoming," he told Oladipo, promising news in the coming weeks.
The Ring's Mike Coppinger named Adeleye as one of several potential Itauma opponents Dec. 13 in Manchester.
Adeleye (14-2, 13 KOs) will seek to bounce back from a second career loss when he does eventually return, after longtime heavyweight contender Filip Hrgovic comfortably outpointed him over 10 gruelling rounds as part of the
Itauma-Dillian Whyte undercard in August.
Last month, Adamu told talkSPORT they were planning six shows a year and that Bet9ja, one of Itauma's sponsors, were keen on the 20-year-old talent also competing back in his father's homeland.
