A team GB boxer is making the transition to the professional game.
For most boxers that compete at The Olympic Games, one of their goals is to give it a go at the professional level.
The professional game is where the big money is and it provides boxers the opportunity to make some life changing money.
And it’s also a path well trodden in the past.
Names like Lennox Lewis, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Anthony Joshua are just some of the names that competed at the Olympics before going on to becoming world heavyweight champion.
A young hopeful from England will be hoping to do the same.
Pat Brown, a young British boxer, will turn professional after reaching an agreement with Sam Jones, an advisor in the boxing world.
Sam Jones, for those unaware, handles the career of Jack Catterall.
For those who don’t know him, Pat Brown is a 24-year-old British amateur boxer from Sale, Greater Manchester.
He has competed in various amateur fights and gained recognition in the boxing scene, standing out for his dynamic style.
His journey in the 2024 Summer Olympics was cut short when he lost in the round of 16.
Brown began boxing at the age of 11 and has had 70 amateur fights to date.
Pat Brown has been considered one of the most promising prospects in British boxing, with expectations that he will succeed in the professional ranks.
According to NoSmokeBoxing, a promotional agreement is being worked on for Brown, as several boxing promoters have stated their desire in signing the fighter after he competed for team GB at the 2024 Olympic Games.
One of those is believed to be Matchroom Boxing chairman Eddie Hearn.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for this emerging talent as he enters the professional boxing scene.
