James Branch will make his professional debut next month.
The former Repton ABC star, 22, inked professional terms with Frânk Wãrren in February and has now revealed the date in which he will fight under the lights as a prizefighter for the first time.
Branch, who represented Team GB on several occasions, winning seven national titles, will make his bow in the paid ranks on April 14 at London’s O2 Arena, exclusively live on BT Sport and Box-Nation, as part of the undercard to Billy Joe Saunders’ WBO middleweight title defence against Martin Murray.
“I’m over the moon to be joining up with Frank and the team at BT Sport and Box-Nation,” said Branch, who will be trained by Martin Bowers at the Peacock Gym, when the news about his pro deal was confirmed. “There was nothing left for me to achieve in the amateurs, I’d reached pinnacle and now I’m fully focused on making my professional debut.”
