Beatriz Ferreira signs with Katie Taylor's team almost a year after Kellie Harrington loss

Beatriz Ferreira has signed a long-term promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing almost a year after her Olympics final defeat to Kellie Harrington.

The 29-year-old from Salvador won Lightweight gold at the 2019 AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Russia, beating China’s Wang Cong on points in the final.

Ferreira is also a three-time Pan-American Champion (2017, 2018, 2019), the 2018 South American Games gold medallist and the 2019 World Military Champion – accolades that have cemented her position as one of the best pound-for-pound amateur boxers on the planet.
