Early career[edit]

On 20 June 2019, it was announced that Donovan had signed a contract to fight professionally with Top Rank where he would be promoted by Bob Arum.[2][3] Donovan made his professional debut on 11 October 2019 against Arturo Lopez. In the opening round, Donovan landed a clean left hand which put his opponent on the canvas. Donovan was declared the winner by knockout after Lopez failed to beat the count.[4][5]

Donovan fought Danny Mendoza on 16 November 2019. In the opening moments of the second round, Donovan connected with a sharp left hand which resulted in his opponent receiving a standing count. Donovan continued to control the remainder of the bout and sealed the win after winning every round on the referees scored card.[6] On 20 December 2019, Donovan faced Oscar Amador. Donovan dominated the opening two rounds, consistently landing to both the head and body. In the third round, Donovan connected with a powerful left hand which knocked his opponent down. Donovan secured the win after Amador was unable to recover from the knockdown.[7][8]

On 15 August 2020, Donovan fought against Des Newton. Donovan dropped his opponent with a left hook in the opening moments of the first round. Newton recovered from the knockdown, however, Donovan proceeded to land a powerful right uppercut to the body which knocked his opponent down for a second time. Following the second knockdown, the referee called an end to the bout.[9][10] On 11 November 2020, Donovan faced Jumaane Camero. Donovan won via points decision after outboxing his opponent throughout the duration of the bout.[11][12]

Donovan fought Siar Ozgul on 19 February 2021. In the opening rounds, Donovan succeeded in landing a number of uppercuts against his shorter opponent. In the fourth round, Donovan appeared to hurt Ozgul after connecting with a powerful left hook. At the end of the fourth round, Ozgul's corner opted to retire their fighter after he sustained large amounts of damage.[13][14] On 6 August 2021, Donovan fought Jose Luis Castillo. In the first round, Donovan knocked his opponent down after landing a heavy left hook to the body of Castillo. The referee called an end to the bout after Castillo was unable to beat the count.[15][16]

On 26 February 2022, Donovan fought on the undercard of Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall, in a bout against Miroslav Serban. Donovan won via technical knockout in the sixth round after the referee called an end to the bout following an injury to Serban's left ear.[17][18][19] Donovan faced Tom Hill on 6 August 2022. Donovan controlled the bout from the outset and was declared the winner via wide points decision after winning every round of the bout on the referees scorecard.[20]
