Having started boxing aged 13, Pitt was recruited onto the Welsh development squad at 16 and two years later was promoted to the national elite team.[1]
A four-time Welsh champion and two-time Tri-Nations winner, he was selected to represent his country in the 86 kg category at the inaugural World Boxing Under-19 Championships held in Pueblo, Colorado, USA, in November 2024.[1] After beating Aryan Aryan from India in the semi-finals, Pitt defeated Kazakhstan's Danial Raimbekov by unanimous decision in the final to claim the gold medal.[1][2][3][4] In doing so he became Wales' first male world amateur champion,[1] and only the second in total after Lauren Price who won middleweight gold at the 2019 Women's World Championships.[4]
In September 2025, he was one of six international boxers elected onto the World Boxing Athlete Committee.[5]
Pitt was selected to represent Wales at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.[6] Competing in the 80 kg division, he defeated Dee Ioapo of Samoa[7] and Kua Gunua Mua from Papua New Guinea to make it through to the quarterfinals,[8] where he lost 4:1 to Australia's Paul Trainor.[9]
