"AMT are delighted to announce that we have secured the services of one of Manchester's true boxing greats to head our new boxing division of our rapidly growing sports management agency. Michael Gomez and Rob McDonald will be tasked with finding and nurturing some of the up and coming boxers in the hotbed of Manchester. Both Gomez and McDonald have a long extensive knowledge of boxing and all of us AMT Sports Management are really excited at having them on board. Michael Gomez is currently applying for his managers licence and is thrilled to be back in boxing, the sport that has given him so much."
