Hearn Calls "One of the Most Exciting Boxers on the Planet"

Eddie Hearn, the head of the promotional company Matchroom, has shared his opinion on who he believes is one of the brightest boxers in the sport.

"I'm excited to welcome Subriel Matias to the team. He is one of the most exciting boxers on the planet. Every fight of his guarantees excitement. As the world champion at super lightweight, big fights await him.

Puerto Rico is a huge market for Matchroom and DAZN. With Subriel joining Edgar Berlanga and Yankiel Rivera in our stable, we look forward to the opportunity to host several major boxing nights there, starting with Subriel's heroic return, for the first time as a world champion, this summer," said Hearn.

Subriel Matias's last five fights have ended with his opponent's corner stopping the fight. On February 14th, the Puerto Rican signed a contract with Matchroom.

There was information earlier that Matias agreed to defend the IBF super lightweight belt (up to 63.5 kg) against Liam Paro (24-0, 15 KOs).
