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.<\/p>\n

“My training team, Colin Jones and Sean McGoldrick, they’re very experienced as well,” he added.<\/p>\n

“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. <\/p>\n

“I’ve got an exciting style, I come forward and aggressive with fast hands. I’ve got a bit of power as well \u2013 fans are going to love watching me fight.<\/p>\n

“I feel like now is the right time to turn pro because everything has fallen into place for me. <\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
