Having been a member of the GB Boxing academy group, he was elevated onto the Podium Squad shortly before being chosen to represent England in the 75 kg division at the 2025 World Boxing Championships in his hometown of Liverpool. In his opening bout at the event, he defeated Croatia's Petar Krešimir Knežević via unanimous decision.

He lost to Bulgaria's reigning European champion, Rami Kiwan, via unanimous decision in the semi-finals and was therefore awarded a bronze medal.
