He is the first boxer of Indian descent to fight for any version of the world title.[2]
Patel started his boxing journey at the age of 11 by competing as an amateur in the UK where he won 4 national titles and reached two ABA finals. He later signed with Goodwin Promotions and made his professional boxing debut on 14 March 2015 at York Hall where he won in 90 seconds. Shortly after this win, he left by Goodwin Promotions,[3] and signed with Queensberry Promotions and had a management deal with Frank Warren. After having a few professional boxing matches under this new promotion and management, Patel left due to lack of fights[4] and proceeded to box independently and internationally.
Early life
Prince Patel began boxing as an amateur under a number of amateur boxing clubs such as Northolt ABC, Dale Youth, Earlsfield ABC, and Repton ABC. He had his first amateur bout at the age of 12.[5]
