Matchroom Boxing announced that IBF super lightweight champion (up to 63.5 kg) Subriel Matias (20-1, 20 KOs) has signed a long-term contract with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom in partnership with Fresh Productions.
"I am very excited about the agreement we have reached with Matchroom.
I can't wait to show DAZN, Matchroom, all the big names, and the whole world why this agreement was made: because I am the best fighter in the world at 140 pounds (63.5 kg). And I will demonstrate this in front of my people, which makes me very happy," said Matias.
Promoter Juan Orendo is also pleased with the partnership: "Fresh Productions is thrilled and looking forward to a partnership with Matchroom. After months of careful analysis of several offers, we decided that Matchroom is the promoter that can elevate Subriel to the level we aspire to."
"I am pleased to welcome Subriel to the team. Subriel is one of the most exciting boxers on the planet, and his every fight is guaranteed to stir emotions," said Hearn.
Matias's last fight was against Shakhram Giyasov (23-1, 20-1 KOs), when the Uzbek refused to continue after the 5th round due to a leg injury.
