Professional career
In December 2020, Dacres signed a promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing and made his professional debut on May 15, 2021, in Manchester.
Dacres racked up seven wins which included capturing the English title against Robert Ismay in March 2023. However, eight months later, it was officially announced that the out-of-contract Dacres had switched to Queensberry Promotions. “Queensberry is now where all the heavyweight action is, with the British title and world title on his platform,” he said.
His Queensberry debut on November 18, 2023, almost ended in disaster after a hard-fought win against Michael Webster. The pair met again in July 2024, with Dacres stopping Webster in the seventh round.
Dacres will defend his English heavyweight title on December 7 at Wembley Arena against Queensberry stablemate David Adeleye.
