Ryan Burnett has signed a three-year deal with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.
The 23-year-old bantamweight holds an 11-0 win-loss record as a professional following a successful career as an amateur.
From Belfast, the young fighter teamed up with trainer Adam Booth in 2014 and Burnett says: "I'm very happy to be signing with Matchroom.
"Things with Adam have gone perfectly and to plan. Now we are looking to open the doors to big things and Eddie is the man to do that very thing.
"I have an amazing team around me and now it's all about opening the right doors, and I'm 100 per-cent sure that with this team around me, I'll become a world champion."
Booth added: "Ryan is the most talented fighter that I have ever worked with. He is quick, strong, powerful and clever. I am very excited to be working with Eddie on Ryan's career now."
Hearn went on: "I have lost count of the amount of times people have told me Ryan is one of the most exciting young fighters they have ever seen.
"These thoughts have come from people in the game that I believe in and respect. I am so excited to join forces with Ryan and Adam and deliver them absolutely everything they need to get to the final destination.
"With Sky Sports, Ryan now has the perfect platform to become a household name and box as frequently as he requires.
"His exciting style and personality will delight viewers, so sit back and enjoy this journey."
