Edward Donovan has joined the pro ranks.

The younger brother of Paddy Donovan, the Limerick sensation who is trained and managed by Andy Lee, has teamed up with Frank Warren.

Donovan was a decorated underage amateur, winning multiple different national titles throughout his career in the vest and headguard.

But the 18-year-old, who also won European Junior gold back in 2016 and represented Ireland on the world stage at various underage tournaments, has elected against following a senior amateur career and turns over relatively young.

He joins his brother-in-law Jason Harty in inking terms with Warren –– who recently clinched the signature of the current British super-featherweight champion Anthony Cacace and former eight-time national champion and Youth Olympic gold medallist Karol Itauma –– along with fellow former amateur standouts John Joyce and Caiomhin Agyarko.

“I am delighted to announce that, after a very successful amateur career of winning multiple national titles and becoming European champion that it’s time for me to enter the pro ranks,” Donovan said online when revealing the news. “I’m even happier to say that I have signed with one of the best promotional groups in the world [in Queensberry Promotions] and Frank Warren.”

Frank Warren or his office has yet to comment on the capture of Donovan, whose brother is promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc.

And though the signings are coming thick and fast to the Queensberry Promotions stable, Boxing Scene understands Warren has lost one of his talented fighters to promotional nemesis Eddie Hearn.

It is believed that Zelfa Barrett has crossed the promotional divide, with a formal announcement expected soon, and a source close to the fighter has said that news on a return date for the current Commonwealth champion at super-featherweight will be revealed sooner rather than later.
