FRANK WARREN IS set to unleash his teenage amateur superstar Royston Barney-Smith on the professional ranks on March 19 at the OVO Arena, Wembley.

The two-time European championship gold medallist turned 18 on January 4 and is ready to launch his pro journey under the management of Hall of Fame promoter Warren and the BT Sport banner as part of the supporting cast to European welterweight champion David Avenesyan making a fifth defence of his title against the unbeaten Finn Oskari Metz, 15-0.

Barney-Smith enjoyed a glittering stint in the amateur code of the sport, with 50 fights under his belt resulting in 45 wins. The product of Pinewood Starr represented England at four international championships and wore the colours of his country on 37 occasions, winning a staggering 36.

The Poole-born youngster, who was raised in Southampton, diverted from his 2024 Olympic dream – where he was strongly tipped for success – after linking up with Southampton trainer Wayne Batten to increase his experience in conjunction with his amateur activity.

A right-handed southpaw, Barney-Smith won gold at both the 2017 and 2018 Europeans, also collecting bronze in 2019. His gold medal exploits limited his participation in National championships, where he has two successes to his name.

“It has been a long time coming,” said Barney-Smith, who in recent months has rang the changes and teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison in Harlow. “I have never been more confident and have never lacked self-belief. Now I am training with Ben, it has brought me on leaps and bounds.”

Barney-Smith, however, says he swapped teams with a heavy heart after working with Batten for many years.

“I was having a bit of conversation with Ben and I asked if I could come down for a couple of weeks. After that I asked if I could train here full time and he said it would be a pleasure.

“It was hard to change because I love Wayne and he knows the reasons why. He is still a good friend and a good family friend. Wayne is a gentleman.

“It was a big move because to train here I have to live here and it was a big commitment at the young age of 17 and now 18. It is definitely worth it though, 100 per cent.

“It is a big sacrifice on my behalf and everyone else’s. I am very close to my family and it is very hard to emotionally let go. It is a big weird not seeing them every day but I have grown into a young man now and I just get on with the job I have to do.

“I train from Monday to Friday and leave on Friday afternoon and come back on Sunday night to get a good, fresh start on the Monday morning. I train twice a day at 8am or 9am and then 2pm or 4pm.”

Barney-Smith is following the rituals of his housemate and undisputed super lightweight world champion Josh Taylor. The difference being Taylor trains within fixed term camps and then heads home to Edinburgh until his next assignment. The teenager is adopting the routine on a long-term basis.

“For sure it is good to see Josh, Lee McGregor and Leigh Wood doing what they have to do. They have titles, they have family and I do know that they make big sacrifices. I understand early what I have to do to become the best.

“That is why I like being down here and watching them, while growing as a person and seeing what it takes to be the best. I am doing it full-time and I like it. If I am not down here I am not growing as a boxer. I am putting the time in, getting the rounds in and doing what a boxer should be doing to be the best they can possibly be.

“I get a little bit homesick, but that is what FaceTime is for, so it is not too bad.”

FRANK WARREN IS delighted to announce the signing of teenage amateur superstar Royston Barney-Smith.

The two-time European championship gold medallist, 17, will turn professional with Queensberry upon his 18th birthday on January 4.

Barney-Smith, who will also be managed by Hall of Fame promoter Warren, has enjoyed a glittering stint in the amateur code of the sport, with 50 fights under his belt bringing about 45 wins. The product of Pinewood Starr has represented England at four international championships and worn the colours of his country on 37 occasions, winning 36.

The Poole-born youngster, who was raised in Southampton, diverted from his 2024 Olympic dream – where he was strongly tipped for success – after linking up with Southampton trainer Wayne Batten to increase his experience in tandem with his amateur activity.

Batten, who also trains Ryan Garner and Mark Chamberlain, will train Barney-Smith in the professional ranks from his new gym premises within the shadow of Southampton FC’s St Mary’s home ground.

A right-handed southpaw, Barney-Smith won gold at both the 2017 and 2018 Europeans, also collecting bronze in 2019. His gold medal exploits limited his participation in National championships, where he has two successes to his name.

“I cannot wait for it and I am itching to get going,” said Barney-Smith, who intends to initially campaign at super featherweight. “I was meant to go to the 2024 Olympics and then, obviously, Covid hit and messed things up. Then I started talking to Frank, took everything into consideration, and here we are.

“It was a very, very good offer and I took it with both hands. Coming to train with Wayne alongside my amateur work kind of clashed for me because I was watching all the pros like Mark Chamberlain and Ryan Garner before going back to the amateur gym. I was the top one and there was nobody to look up to or chase.

“So I have pushed my amateur career to one side to come over to the pros. It was a change of heart over a period of time, to be honest. Where I was dominating so much year upon year, it became like ‘what am I doing this for?’ and I fell out of love with it a little bit.

“Now I am turning pro, it is like a whole new chapter where I have got to accomplish things and be the best I can be.

“The way I fight really, even though it will sound cringey, it is a bit poetic. I don’t really get hit a lot, I don’t like getting hit even though I am a boxer and it is part of the job. I float across the ring, rather than step or plod, I glide and pull shots out of nowhere. He’s here, he’s there, bomb, and he’s gone again!

“There is definitely also power there and I have given the national champions of loads of countries standing eight counts fighting a year above my age group. I always push myself to be the best and always fought a year above.

“In the first 12 months we are going to take it steady and learn our craft. I am not scared of fighting anybody though and I have been sparring the likes of Martin J Ward, the current Spanish champion (Alejandro Moya), Ryan Garner and Lyon Woodstock.

“My dream is to be the youngest world champion.

“Frank Warren is a nice person and he believes in me personally – and I believe in him. There was an automatic connection between us, we clicked and he can get me to where I need to be and I will commit my full life and soul to it. It is going to happen.”

Promoter Frank Warren added: “I am thrilled to bring Royston onboard and I cannot wait until January when we can unleash him on the professional ranks. He is a unique talent with an outstanding pedigree from the amateurs and a proven winner at international level.

“All the ingredients are in place for him to become the complete package as a pro and I have as much confidence in him as he rightly has in himself. It is going to be an exciting journey and it will be a privilege to manage and promote him as he takes the next big step on his career path.

“He has got himself a top trainer in Wayne, who is doing big things down in Southampton, building up a superb crop of young fighters including Ryan Garner, Mark Chamberlain and the Frankham cousins, Josh and Levi. So Royston will be working in good company and they will all push each other along.

“I feel sure the public and fans will warm to him and get right behind him in his quest to become a world champion at a young age.”
