The MTK Global Vice-President Jamie Conlan said, “We’re delighted to welcome Jamel Herring to the team. It became a top priority for MTK to work with Herring given who he is, his standing in the division, especially with JoJo Diaz now also in the stable, and as soon as we spoke, there were instant synergies and we were able to get the deal over the line right away.

“This is a fantastic addition to the team and we’re proud to have the champ with us. This is another step from MTK into the US market and its an honor to be working with a true champion in Jamel Herring.”

Although Herring’s future opponent Carl Frampton is also signed to MTK, it does not bring any issue between the two or the organization. According to Conlan, it will actually be easier to make the fight. Well, if that is the case, we could surely expect to see the two square off in near future.
