Lightweight Haven Brady Jr. has signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom. Brady Jr. (17-0, 7 KOs) has put pen to paper with Matchroom ahead of a crucial chapter in his career, as the Bozy Ennis-trained Georgian looks to rise up the ranks in the 135-pound division. ‘Hitman’ will return to the ring on Friday August 28th in an eight-round clash against Nicaragua’s Bryan Jimenez (18-4, 10 KOs) as part of the first event of Matchroom and DAZN’s ‘Project Series’ at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The 24 year old will be looking to get his first win of 2026 under his belt before watching the main event with great interest, where Corey Marksman takes on Christian Barreto in the same weight division. 

 

“I’m proud to officially announce my signing with Matchroom,” said Brady. “This is a defining moment in my career and the beginning of an exciting new chapter. I’m grateful for the opportunity, focused on the work ahead, and determined to reach the highest level of the sport.”

 

“I’m delighted to welcome Haven to the team,” said Hearn. “Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, Bozy and the guys in The Dungeon in Philly have told us that this young man is the real deal, and we’re going to give him every opportunity to prove that. Getting Haven on our first Project Series card in Orlando is exactly what this new venture is designed for – giving the next generation of stars a platform to strut their stuff, and a potential fight between Haven and the winner of the main event could well be next.”
