On signing, Dev said, “I’m very excited to be joining Matchroom and beginning my professional career in Las Vegas on January 25.

I enjoyed my time as an amateur boxer and competed at the very highest level in the Olympics and [won] a World Championship medal, but now I'm ready for this new chapter in my career.
