As Omojor, 19, embarks on his pro journey, Omojor will continue studying his Business Computing degree alongside training with amateur coach Ross Wilkinson, as Dean Lain also joins the coaching team.
 
Omojor said: “This is a dream come true.
 
"I have grown up watching Matchroom Boxing and all I’ve wanted to do since I stepped into the gym was be part of big nights. To be part of the team is huge and it's what I have worked towards in my boxing career.
 
"I can't wait to get started.”
 
With the dream of one day headlining at St. James’ Park – the home of his beloved football club, Newcastle United – the towering 6’5” Omojor has full support of Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn. 

“Divine is a hugely talented young fighter and we are thrilled to add him to our team,” said Hearn.

“He is an absolute unit already and he has a bright future ahead of him. I’m certain will make a name for himself in the professional ranks of this sport and bring some big nights to the North East.
 
“I’m excited to map out an important first year in the professional ranks for Divine. We believe he will go far.” 

News of Omojor’s Matchroom Boxing debut will be announced in due course.

About Matchroom Boxing

After the success of snooker in the 1980s, Matchroom Sport moved into boxing with two small hall shows followed by Frank Bruno v Joe Bugner at Tottenham Hotspur’s ground – the biggest boxing event of 1987. That launched the company into the boxing big-time, a position it has maintained ever since.

Through the 1990s Matchroom Sport’s boxing roster featured many of the biggest names in the sport including Lennox Lewis, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins and Naseem Hamed, all in world title fights and it continues to work with some of the biggest names in UK boxing including Audley Harrison, the 2000 Olympic Super-Heavyweight gold medalist.

Over the years, Matchroom Sport has built up long-standing relationships with broadcasters around the world and with the advent of the Prizefighter phenomenon, the company’s boxing division has never been in a stronger position.

From fantastic six round scraps between the sport’s journeymen, up to multi-million-dollar World Championship contests featuring the above fighters, the Pro Box series has it all. Each show is packed with the very best in boxing action in a series that encompasses almost 25 years of Matchroom Sport’s commitment to bringing the highest quality to the global television market.
