Oscar De La Hoya Signs Undefeated No.1 WBC-Ranked Super-Welterweight After Eddie Hearn’s Deal With Subriel Matias

Only three days ago, Subriel Matias signed a deal with Matchroom and DAZN Boxing. Following the deal, Matias, the current IBF Super-Lightweight champion, declared he would “show all the big names” that he was the best 140-pounder. In the wake of this statement by Matias, Eddie Hearn requested Teofimo Lopez to test his skills against the Puerto Rican.

At this, while Eddie Hearn bragged about having signed Matias, Oscar De La Hoya also made a huge announcement. The CEO of Golden Boy Promotions revealed that they welcomed the no. 1 WBC-ranked Super-Welterweight to their team.

Charles Conwell is currently 18-0-0. Before turning pro in 2017, Conwell represented Team USA at the Rio Olympics 2016.

On the other hand, Conwell said, “It’s been a long time coming.” “I’m happy, and can’t wait to get back in the ring. I want to thank Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya, and Eric Gomez for the opportunity and for believing in me. ‘Bad News’ is back,” he added with confidence.
