Pat Brown Cruiserweight - Hometown Sale Manchester, England. Stats W 5 KO 5 L 0 D 0 Stance Orthodox Age 26 Height 6' 3"
Team GB Olympian Pat Brown has signed a long-term promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and will make his highly anticipated professional debut at Cruiserweight in 2025.
Manchester’s Brown, who will be trained by Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis at the V.I.P Gym in Astley alongside Matchroom stablemates Jack Catterall, Cameron Vuong and Conner Tudsbury, broke into the Great Britain set-up in 2022 with his heavy-handed, all-action style.
The 25-year-old, born and raised in Sale, began his boxing journey at Sale West Amateur Boxing Club – the same club where British legend Ricky Hatton honed is craft – after discovering his love for boxing as a hyperactive seven-year-old.
By 2019, Brown was a two-time North West Champion. He joined the famous Moss Side Fire Station boxing club in 2021 at the age of 20, winning the Heavyweight Title at the England Boxing National Amateur Championships that year.
Manchester United fanatic Brown was awarded a place on the GB Boxing Podium Squad the following year and won his second National Championships, establishing himself as one of the most exciting talents coming out of the GB set-up.
Now managed by Sam Jones, Brown secured his place at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris after defeating Poland’s Mateusz Berenicki in March earlier this year. He exited the games in the opening around against Brazil's Pan American Games and World Championship silver medallist Keno Machado.
Brown headlined in Altrincham for his highly anticipated pro debut in front of a sold out crowd. The Bomber thrilled with a four-round beatdown of Federico Grandone to get his pro journey underway in style.
