HIGHLY-TOUTED BANTAMWEIGHT ADAM MACA SIGNS PROMOTIONAL DEAL WITH MATCHROOM BOXING

PhilBoxing.com




Explosive Brighton talent set for pro debut in New York on June 14
Explosive Bantamweight prospect Adam Maca has signed a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and is set to make his eagerly anticipated professional debut on the undercard of the IBF Super-Lightweight World Title clash between Richardson Hitchins and George Kambosos Jr at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 14, live worldwide on DAZN.

The highly-touted talent, 17, earned a fearsome reputation in the amateur ranks by becoming a two-time Junior European Champion and five-time National Champion. At world level, he picked up a silver medal while representing his birth country, Albania.

Now based in Brighton, the Sam Jones-managed fighter trains out of the Ropes and Glory Gym in Chatham under the guidance of Dan Woledge. Maca becomes the latest addition to Matchroom’s UK stable following the signing of Heavyweight sensation Leo Atang.

“I feel like Eddie Hearn and the Matchroom team are the perfect fit for me,” said Maca. “They’re constantly pushing their fighters for better things – bigger shows, iconic venues and huge fights. They’re always striving for greatness like me.

“I was on the Albanian Olympic team. I could have waited for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles but that’s not what I wanted to do. Since I’ve been a little boy, I’ve wanted to be a professional boxer. I’m following my dreams.

“I feel my style is suited to the pro game because I don’t just come to score points and win by decision. I come to put on a show and know you out every time. The fans are going to love watching me fight.

“There’s been a lot of sacrifices along the way with my parents and family missing time off work to support my dreams. They too me all over the world to National Championships, European Championships and World Championships.

“I know I have what it takes to reach the very top of this sport, and I’ll repay the dedication they’ve shown me. I’ll become an undisputed World Champion one day, without a doubt.”

"Adam Maca is another hugely exciting addition to our growing stable of talent," said Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn. "Adam possesses explosive power for his age and possesses all of the attributes that are guaranteed to make him a fan favourite. He looks to put on a show and deliver eye-catching knockouts every time he steps in the ring. Naturally, there was a lot of interest in securing Adam's signature, and I'm delighted he has chosen us to guide his career. It all gets underway on the huge Richardson vs. Kambosos Jr card in New York on June 14 - don't miss it!"

“Adam Maca is a fighter that every manager and promoter on this planet wanted to sign,” said Jones. “This kid has superstar potential and will be a natural fit to the professional code. Even as an amateur Adam was knocking opponents clean out, so with those 8oz gloves he is going to cause absolute chaos! This is a huge signing for Matchroom, and I can’t wait to watch his pro journey get underway at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on June 14 – live worldwide on DAZN. It doesn’t get much bigger than that.”
