Amateur star Taylor Bevan joins Matchroom Boxing

2022 Commonwealth Games silver medallist Taylor Bevan has signed a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and will make his professional debut at Super-Middleweight on the huge Sunny Edwards vs. Galal Yafai card at BP Pulse LIVE in Birmingham on Saturday November 30, shown live worldwide on DAZN.

Following a successful spell in the amateurs in which Bevan represented Team GB for two and a half years from January 2022 – four years after joining the Welsh camp full-time – the 23-year-old will begin his journey in the professional ranks under the guidance of former British, European and Commonwealth Welterweight Champion Colin Jones at Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff.

“I’m really excited about joining Matchroom,” said Bevan. “I feel like I’ve been waiting to turn pro for a long time. It’s something that since I started boxing, I’ve always wanted to do. Matchroom is one of the biggest companies out there in the sport and I’m just really looking forward to it.

“I feel like now is the right time to turn pro because everything has fallen into place for me. The Olympic dream didn’t work out for me this year. I had the option to wait another four years and try and go to the LA Olympics, but I just feel like I’m at a good age now. I can take my time in the pros and really build into it.

“I boxed for Wales for seven years internationally. I went to the Commonwealth Games in 2022 in Birmingham and got a silver medal. Following the Commonwealth Games I got onto Team GB. I was on there for two and a half years and had some great experiences with them.
