mfg Solicitors, a Shropshire-based law firm, is backing trainee solicitor Oscar McCracken in his pursuit of a professional boxing career. McCracken, who will become the UK's first qualified solicitor and boxer upon completing his training contract in 2026, is set to fight in a welterweight contest on February 14th, sponsored by his firm.
Shropshire law firm mfg Solicitors is set to play a role in helping one of its trainee solicitors take the next step in his professional boxing career. The local law firm is supporting trainee corporate solicitor Oscar McCracken, who is taking part in a welterweight contest on February 14 at the Holiday Inn near Birmingham Airport. The firm will be sponsors for his fight at the five-contest event - his third professional fight after winning his first two bouts.
The 25-year-old began his two-year training contract at mfg Solicitors in September 2024 and when he qualifies in 2026, the former University of Worcester student will become the UK’s first ever qualified solicitor and boxer. Oscar comes from a respected boxing family. His father is a former professional boxer and current trainer, and his uncle Rob McCracken CBE, is credited for training champions such as Anthony Joshua and Carl Froch. Oscar said: “It means so much that the firm has chosen to support me for my next fight. Boxing is in my blood but I’m also committed to having a successful legal career and I’m loving my training contract so far. 'To have the backing from all my colleagues at mfg Solicitors really does make it extra special for me. I couldn’t be happier to be part of such a fantastic firm.” Clare Lang, partner at mfg Solicitors said: “Oscar has made a big impact since he joined us last year and is showing real promise. We love that he has such a unique story and we are all fully behind his boxing career.” “Sponsoring his next fight is a part of our support for him and we can’t wait to watch him extend his unbeaten record.” Attracting national attention for his unique career path, the trainee lawyer has taken on the nickname ‘Oscar De La Lawyer’ – partly in homage to the great multi-weight fighter Oscar De La Hoya who he is named after. mfg Solicitors has offices in Worcester, Birmingham, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Ludlow and Telford.
