British Championship Circular released on December 15, 2022
This month's British, English and European notices have been released by the British Boxing Board of Control.
British light-heavyweight champion Dan Azeez lands the European title shot, which, providing he gets through his test with Rocky Fielding on December 17, is the natural progression on his journey from Southern Area, English and British champion. Middleweight Felix Cash also gets his long-awaited shot at the EBU belt, with date and venue to be advised.
Nathaniel Collins vs Raza Hamza for the vacant British featherwieght belt is big news, as is Tommy Frank and Jay Harris finally set to meet for the flyweight strap, which is a fight that has been many years in the making.
