African Boxing Union (ABU) Welterweight Champion, Larry Ekundayo, has joined Team MGM after signing a management deal.

“This move has come at the perfect stage of my career. I’m looking at the big fights and with Team MGM behind me I’m totally confident of getting those opportunities” the boxer said.

Boasting an 11-0 record, Ekundayo already has an impressive list of names on his ledger and is aiming to extend that over the coming months.

The welterweight division is full of top contenders and Ekundayo feels he has joined the perfect team to help him establish himself among the very best.

“He’s a quality boxer. The names on his record at such an early stage of his career speak volumes and we look forward to this exciting new chapter,” Team MGM commented.

Ekundayo is the No 1 contender for the Commonwealth title and he will be in position for a world title shot in the near future.

Plans are in place to ensure his next fight will come up before the end of the year with the London based boxer revealing that he would like to make it happen in Nigeria.
