Finally, he will become the quickest English amateur in the competition to win a title of this prestige.

Matt’s childhood was surrounded by a football environment, competing in the sport for almost 13 years. Although an accumulation of Injuries and time constraints forced Matt into pausing sports.

Matt’s passion for boxing began at Canterbury Christ Church University where he currently studies Sport Science. Joining societies and local gyms created his love for boxing.

Hurrell will fight reigning champion Lucás Salvador who is defending the belt for the 3rd year running.
