Junior middleweight prospect Odel Kamara declared his ambition to become the greatest of all time ahead of his professional debut on Saturday. The 22-year-old amateur World Championships bronze medallist from Liverpool signed with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing following intense competition among leading promoters for his signature.

Kamara turned professional after a controversial defeat at the 2025 World Championships caused him to abandon his dream of competing for Olympic gold. Alongside manager Sam Jones and promoter Eddie Hearn, Kamara plans to rise gradually through the ranks while targeting future high-profile bouts against fighters such as Ryan Garcia, Jaron Ennis, and Terence Crawford.
