Amateur sensation Kamara turns professional with Matchroom
Liddard vs. Morello live on DAZN - Saturday
Decorated amateur fighter Odel Kamara has turned professional with Matchroom, promising fans to "expect fireworks".
The 22-year-old from Liverpool has put pen to paper on terms with the Eddie Hearn-led promotion ahead of his debut.
One of Great Britain's most formidable amateur talents over the past few years, Kamara has long been tipped as a star.
Now, he will have the chance to deliver at super-welterweight, promising supporters that he will back up his promise too.

"Expect fireworks because I want to give the fans value for money every time I’m in the ring,” Kamara issued in a statement.
"I want to become a superstar in the sport and I know I’m in the right place and the right platform with DAZN to do just that."
Matchroom's Hearn further expressed his delight at securing Kamara, and tipped him to live up to self-imposed expectations.
"This kid has got it all," he said on the star. "He has got the looks, the personality, the power, and, above all, he can really fight.
“I think Kamara will be in the conversation over time as one of the most exciting stars we’ve ever produced in this country.
"This young man is going to bring some major nights to Liverpool and, believe me, he is going to light up the world’s stage before long."
