The 27-year-old has been paired with Armenia’s Davit Chaloyan in the opening round of the super heavyweight tournament at Paris 2024 - in a rematch of last year’s European Games quarter-final.
Orie delivered arguably the best performance of his career to win that bout on unanimous decision, going on to win gold and stamp his ticket to the Olympics.
