Taylor Bevan Eager for Long-Awaited Professional Debut

Bevan has decided to leave the Team GB set-up and begin his journey in the pro ranks under the guidance of former British, European and Commonwealth welterweight champion Colin Jones.

Reflecting on his decision, he said: “I feel like I’ve been waiting to turn pro for a long time.” He continued: “It’s something that since I started boxing, I’ve always wanted to do. Matchroom is one of the biggest companies out there in the sport and I’m just really looking forward to it.”

“My training team, Colin Jones and Sean McGoldrick, they’re very experienced as well,” he added.

Talking about the trust he has in his team, Bevan said: “I’ve trained with the Wales team for about seven years now, so I trust them, and I know they’ve got my best interests at heart. I’m really looking forward to turning pro with them.”

Style and Olympic Journey

The 23-year-old Welshman has also revealed his fighting style: “I’ve got an exciting style, I come forward and aggressive with fast hands. I’ve got a bit of power as well – fans are going to love watching me fight.”

Bevan added: “I feel like now is the right time to turn pro because everything has fallen into place for me.”

Talking about his Olympic dream and deciding to enter the pro ranks after missing out on the Paris 2024 Olympics, Bevan said: “The Olympic dream didn’t work out for me this year. I had the option to wait another four years and try to go to the LA Olympics, but I just feel like I’m at a good age now. I can take my time in the pros and really build into it.”
