Bevan will begin his journey in the professional ranks under the guidance of former British, European and Commonwealth welterweight champion Colin Jones at the Sport Wales National Centre in Cardiff.

“My training team, Colin Jones and Sean McGoldrick, they’re very experienced as well,” he added.

“I’ve trained with the Wales team for about seven years now, so I trust them, and I know they’ve got my best interests at heart. I’m really looking forward to turning pro with them.

“I’ve got an exciting style, I come forward and aggressive with fast hands. I’ve got a bit of power as well – fans are going to love watching me fight.

“I feel like now is the right time to turn pro because everything has fallen into place for me.

“The Olympic dream didn’t work out for me this year. I had the option to wait another four years and try to go to the LA Olympics, but I just feel like I’m at a good age now. I can take my time in the pros and really build into it.”
