2024 Team USA Olympian Turns Pro With Eddie Hearn - Details Of First Pro Fight Revealed

One of America’s standout amateurs in the Olympics last year in France is now an amateur no more.

Omari Jones is the latest American budding star of the future to sign with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom boxing a short time ago.

It is thought to be a multi-year agreement.

The Ring on X comment that his first fight is expected March 15th in Florida.

Once again another proof that Hearn’s Matchroom, once just a European outfit, is now a worldwide force in boxing as many American stars are choosing Hearn and Matchroom over the likes of Top Rank, PBC and Golden Boy.

Shakur Stevenson not long ago also signed with Hearn.

Jones has shown much promise in the amateurs and it will be good to see how he is matched early on as a professional fighter.
