Pauly, Sonny and Anthony Upton have all signed new long-term managerial deals.

The trio of brothers, known as The Upton Clan, are trained and promoted by former world champion Ricky Hatton, but have inked deals with MGM Marbella.

All three are former Irish champions in the headguard and vest and excelled in the unpaid code before turning over in 2013.

“We are delighted to be managing the Upton brothers,” the MGM management team said.

“They all show a lot of potential and we believe that, together with Ricky Hatton, they will go far.”

Sonny (10-2, 5 KOs), 22, has a tough task on his hands in his next fight, which is set for York Hall in Bethnal Green on March 5, as he takes on Matt McCarthy (14-1, 3 KOs) in what is being described as a final eliminator for the British super welterweight title.

Pauly (11-0, 1 KO) is the only unbeaten fighter of the trio, but hasn’t fought since November last year when he outpointed Zoltan Turai over eight rounds.

Meanwhile, Anthony (11-1, 4 KOs) lost for the first time as a pro in his last fight as he dropped a decision to Joe Hughes in a challenge for the English super lightweight title.

Elsewhere, MGM has also added another duo to its ever-growing stable in the shape of Adam Hart and Johnny Coyle.

Cruiserweight Hart (2-0) has enjoyed two stoppage victories in both of his pro fights to date and is headed towards minor pro titles in the near future after moving codes following a glittering career in kickboxing.

He held British and European titles and an impressive record of 40 wins from 43 fights with 36 KOs and he hopes to continue that success in the ring.

“I'm over the moon and very happy to be signed with MGM,” the 36-year-old Purfleet southpaw said.

“I hope to win titles for myself and MGM.”

Meanwhile, 22-year-old Coyle (11-0-1, 2 KOs) is hoping that his latest career move will ensure that he reaps the rewards.

The Prizefighter champion, who has previously held the Southern Area super lightweight crown and is the current custodian of the WBC Youth Inter-Continental belt, has been out of action since last October and hopes that he will be out regularly in the near future, starting as soon as possible.

“I'm very happy to be on board with MGM,” Coyle said. “I've never heard anything but good things about them and when I spoke to them about signing it made so much sense for me.

“I’m sure with them behind me I will get the fights and recognition I need to be in the sport.”
