Pat Brown inks promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing
Matchroom Boxing have been linked to a plethora of signings in recent weeks and they have now officially confirmed the signature of Team GB Olympian Pat Brown in an exciting announcement, with the proud Mancunian expected to make his professional debut in the near future.
After weeks of speculation, the first of what is assumably many Matchroom signings was unveiled, as a co-promotional agreement with former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos Jr. was revealed.
Meanwhile, sources expect that the signing of Scotland’s former undisputed super-lightweight champion Josh Taylor is also around the corner, with ‘The Tartan Tornado’ anticipated to be stepping up in weight and making his 147lb debut in early 2025.
However, Hearn previously let slip that there would be at least four new signings for Matchroom Boxing, indicating that there would be multiple Olympians and multiple former world champions in an interview with The Stomping Ground.
“Two or three Olympians, former world champions, former undisputed world champions – a lot to come.”
Today, the first of those Olympians was disclosed to the public, as the signing of Team GB’s Paris 2024 heavyweight representative Pat Brown was boasted across their social media platforms, after many fans had incorrectly guessed that yesterday’s Old Trafford-based teased was related to the rumoured showdown between Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr.From the Olympics to the pros, introducing British boxing’s next star 🇬🇧

Training alongside Conner Tudsbury, another recent Matchroom signing, at the Moss Side Fire Station Gym in Manchester, six-foot-six Brown has been trained by Nigel Travis in his amateur days, a coach of Jack Catterall’s.
Yet, it was always Brown’s intentional to turn professional and he has often shown signs that his style is more suited to the professional ranks both inside the ring and out of it, recently impressing with his power on the talkSPORT punching machine.😤⚔️ “MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS HAVING A TEAR UP

At Paris 2024, like much of Team GB, 25-year-old Brown did not deliver on what were high expectations, losing out to Brazil’s Keno Machado in the opening round of the tournament, but wins over the likes of Mateusz Bereznicki and Adam Olaore in the past have shown that Brown has the skills necessary for success.
Now Brown looks to improve upon his Olympic disappointment and, despite his lanky figure, will make his professional debut in the cruiserweight division, with his first fight to be announced imminently.
