The number one professional boxing promotion, Hitz Boxing, just signed Curran to his first pro deal scheduled for April 20, 2005 at 115 Boulevard in Merrionette Part (Chicago's South Side). Curran and his coach Dr. Doug Mango have been waiting for this day for the past few years. "I've wanted to box on TV since I was not even able to walk" said the Big Frog. Curran went on to say "I've been the big show in my sport, I still fight MMA, but why stop there. I have more dreams to realize in this lifetime. My Grandfather boxed and he got me started. It will be a dedication to him."

Look forward to seeing an exciting fight when Curran enters the ring. He brings with near 40 No Holds Barred Fights to his record with over a hundred Jiu-Jitsu matches. Experience isn't going to be an issue. "If we can get Jeff to fight the way he trains without needing the time to adapt, watch out, people will fall" comments trainer and coach Dr. Mango.
