Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has recently made a significant signing, adding IBF light welterweight champion Subriel Matias to his Matchroom Boxing stable. This move not only bolsters Hearn's roster but also brings in one of the most avoided and arguably the best fighters in the 140-lb division. Matias, with his impressive 100% knockout percentage, will now have his fights showcased on the popular streaming network DAZN, offering subscribers the chance to witness the prowess of this exceptional fighter.
Interestingly, Top Rank, another prominent boxing promotional company, did not manage to secure Matias for bouts against their own fighter, WBO 140-lb champion Teofimo Lopez. It's possible that they weren't willing to risk their star Teo losing to the lesser-known Puerto Rican knockout artist and potentially wasting the substantial investment they have put into Lopez's career.
