The promotional outfit revealed the signing of two of the UK's most exciting young prospects in Welsh twins Ioan and Garan Croft, who have both penned long-term promotional deals. You can watch all Matchroom Boxing events live on DAZN.

“I am pleased to welcome Ioan and Garan to the Matchroom Boxing team,” said Matchroom Sport chairman Eddie Hearn.

“With a legend in Anthony Crolla in their corner, they are two very talented young fighters who are eager to make their own names in the sport – and hopefully bring some major fight nights to Wales. 

“I can’t wait to see them get up and running, as we look to map out an important 2026 for them both.”

Younger by a minute, Ioan (5-0, 3 KOs) won the gold medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games before turning pro under trainer and former world champion Crolla. 

“It’s a dream come true to sign with Matchroom Boxing," Ioan said in a press release. "I’m grateful for the team around me who have made this possible. I want to bring big nights of boxing to Wales, and it’s time to show the world what I can do.”

Garan (5-0, 2 KOs) is the recipient of a Commonwealth bronze medal and two European silver medals on his amateur resume. 

“My apprenticeship is almost over. Very soon I’ll be challenging for titles," Garan said. "It’s time to make an impact on the 154lbs division. I can’t wait to get started under Matchroom Boxing."
