BRITISH BOXING has already booked names like Josh Taylor Amir Khan, Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Williams for 2022. But the new breed will be there to support them.
Sky Sports, BT Sport, and DAZN have stars, prospects, and rough diamonds that they want to unleash on us. Undercards will also be bursting with talent and potential.
Galal Yafai sees Lauren Price, a hot prospect in Tokyo, in action.
The 2020 Olympics were delayed until this summer. While Team GB's greatest hopes may have fallen short, a new generation of talent is poised to become professionals.
SunSport suggests that you wait to go to the bar, take a sanitizer, or have tea when you see these names again.
These stars are hot and you could miss them if you blink.
Caroline Dubois, 20: 0-0
The quietest boxer in British boxing may be the one who can make the most noise.
Caroline Dubois (20 years old) reached the quarter-finals of the summer Olympics. This is three years after she won gold at the youth games.
Free Bets: Get more than PS2,000 in NEW CUSTOMER DEALSThe right-handed southpaw nearly made her pro bow in November, but illness forced her to miss it. Sky Sports will make a huge deal about the fighting prodigy in 2022, and no woman will be spared.
Experts, pundits, and trainers believe that heavyweight Daniel's sister is a rare talent capable of surpassing all others in the women’s code.
Karol Itauma, 21: 5-0
Frank Warren quietly guides Kent's light-heavyweight, and neither man has made any mistakes so far.
Itauma won the gold medal in the same Buenos Aires youth games that Caroline Dubois. He had very little senior amateur experience but looked flawless in his five wins.
Itauma only has faced journeymen, but the most difficult to stop are those who are incredibly skilled and experienced. Itauma, Slovakian-born, has managed three victories so far.
This star is not going to trash talk or brag about his fight career. He has managed to juggle a job as a financial analyst with his early fighting career.
However, don't be surprised if the 12st 7lbs division has nightmares dealing with this southpaw.
Keep an eye out for Enrico, his younger brother, who will make another big splash in the sport very shortly.
Galal Yafai, 29: 0-0
Galal, the younger brother to pro stars Kal Gamal and Gamal made his name in spectacular fashion this summer.
Yafai, despite having a number of larger names in Tokyo grabbing Team GB's attention, was able quietly and brilliantly to go about his business and became an instant hero for Great Britain.
The no-nonsense Brummie has already made plans to fight in the pro ranks, with the classy Croydon brothers Sunny Edwards and Charlie Edwards.
Yafai was not successful in the 2016 Games, so he has been relegated to the background. However, that shouldn't mean he isn't demanding a fast track to world titles when he starts in 2022.
Adam Azim, 19: 2-0
It has been 25 years since The Office was Slough's best show, but Azim is now a teenage sensation who targets ribs with punches rather than laughs.
Shane McGuigan, a young and talented trainer, has assumed the helm of amateur's training. This should excites any boxing fan who looks at his recent work with champions Josh Taylor and Lawrence Okolie.
Although Azim may not have realized it, having his big brother Hassan to spar with and wrestle with him throughout his childhood probably helped him to be more resilient.
Sky Sports is obviously very interested in the lightweight, so they expect to see a lot of him by 2022. But give him plenty time to grow.
Lauren Price, 27: 0-0
The feel-good moment of the Games was the 27-year old's Olympic victory in middleweight.
The grandparents raised the Newport southpaw who later helped her to become a phenomenal kickboxer, Cardiff City player and boxer.
Price has spoken to Eddie Hearn about making the transition from amateur to professional. Savannah Marshall, Price's world champion in the amateurs, believes she can easily reach welterweight in pro ranks. She could also be able to compete against stronger and more resilient competitors.
Mark Chamberlain 22: 9-0
Six of his victims have been blasted by the BT Sport banger already and he is proving to be a deadly body puncher.
Mark Boy, a lightweight, has dominated his early rivals but has not tried to bully or rush his work.
The brutality is calm, measured, and clinical.
Another soft-spoken assassin, the Portsmouth lad, is also softly spoken. You will likely hear his opponents' agonising screams before Chamberlain chatter.
Pat McCormack 26 - 0-0
Tyne and Wear twins Luke and Pat McCormack have terrorized the amateur scene at home and abroad and have confiscated dozens of silver and gold medals from their proud family home.
Pat and Luke won silver at the summer Olympics. They have teamed up with Ben Davison, a top trainer. This means that Luke will be training alongside champions Josh Taylor and Lee McGregor every single day in the gym.
Pat's style will make him a success in the paid ranks almost immediately so don't worry about him needing many learning sessions - these guys mean business.
