Brock Jarvis signs three-year deal with Jeff Horn’s promoter
The Jeff-Fenech trained Brock Jarvis has signed a multi-year deal which will see all of his fights televised.
Unbeaten Sydney boxer Brock Jarvis has signed a three-year, 15 fight deal with leading promotional company, D & L Events.
Jarvis, 16-0, nailed down the deal with trainer and Hall of Fame fighter Jeff Fenech on Thursday, which includes all bouts being broadcast live.
D & L Events is run by successful New Zealand promoter Dean Lonergan, who promotes Jeff Horn fights.

Jarvis will confront Philippines boxer Ernesto Saulong as the main support bout to Horn’s big fight against Michael Zerafa in Bendigo on August 31.
There will also be a two-year extension option for Jarvis after the original three-year contract expires.
Jarvis will be the main event on a fight card in Melbourne this November and then hopefully return to Sydney for another headline bout in February next year.
“Dean is a good guy who has done well with Jeff Horn,” Jarvis said. “I’m excited about it.”
Jarvis will spar eight rounds in Sydney today as part of his preparation for the Saulong fight.
“Our deal is five fights a year but, as it gets harder, we might do four,” Fenech said. “Who knows?
“All the fights will be on TV. If there’s no TV, there’s no deal. I just love with what Dean Lonergan has done with Jeff Horn and I know him well.
“The bloke Brock is fighting in Bendigo will be very hard. He has gone 12 rounds with the world champion. The bloke can fight.”
Most believe Jarvis is headed for a world title inside the next two years.
