British Championship Circular released on 11th August 2021
In this month's latest news, Hosea Burton and Dan Azeez will meet for the vacant light-heavyweight crown, which is a fight that has already captured the attention of boxing fans; as well as super-middleweight holder Lennox Clarke accepting a voluntary defence to in-form Zak Chelli, which has fun written all over it!
In the lower weight classes, Tommy Frank and Matt Windle clash for the vacant flyweight title; and Kash Farooq has been granted another shot at his only conqueror, Lee McGregor, in a bid to win back his old title, which he has at home anyway, being an outright holder.
