champion Danny Dignum. Credit: Probellum
The Essex-born southpaw (14-0-1, 8 knockouts), who
retained his title by beating compatriot Grant Dennis on Friday (March 11) at
York Hall, London turned professional in 2016 and is yet to suffer defeat.
Dignum, 29, originally won the vacant WBO European
middleweight title in 2019 when he beat Conrad Cummings via knockout, and his
reputation continues to grow as he builds towards a world title challenge.
A former Great Britain amateur, Dignum is rated highly
by the WBO, sitting at No5 in the standings.
His most recent performance against Dennis was
particularly impressive as Dignum dominated following an early clash of heads,
eventually securing victory courtesy of a sixth-round knockout to extend his
unbeaten run.
“Probellum is making a big impact in the boxing world,
and I’m delighted to join their fantastic stable of fighters,” said Dignum.
“I’m unbeaten as a professional and my ambition in the
long-term is to fight for a world title. I have total confidence Probellum will
help me achieve that goal and build on the success I have already achieved.”
“Danny is a fantastic fighter and we are delighted to
sign him,” added Richard Schaefer, President of Probellum.
“He is undefeated in 14 fights, which speaks volumes,
and his performance on Saturday showcased his undoubted quality to fight fans
around the world.
“He has a very big future in the sport and it’s our
job, at Probellum, to ensure he is given the best possible opportunities to
achieve his ambitions and fulfil his impressive potential.”
Other fighters to have signed for Probellum in recent
weeks include IBF flyweight world champion Sunny Edwards, Liverpool-born
brothers Peter (2-0, 1 knockout) and Joe McGrail (1-0, 1 knockout), unbeaten
Shabaz Masoud (9-0, 2 knockouts), heavyweight prospect Ivan Dychko (11-0, 11
knockouts) and seven-time Irish national champion Steven Cairns (2-0, 1
knockout).
