Latest British Championship Circular released on July 14, 2022
In this month's latest news, all eyes are on the heavyweight match-up between Fabio Wardley vs Nathan Gorman. Last month, the pair were ordered to fight for Wardley's English title, but promoter Eddie Hearn's request to upgrade to the British championship was approved by the Stewards after Joe Joyce relinquished his title.
On the other end of the scales, Tommy Frank has been ordered to defend his flyweight strap to world title contender Jay Harris, which should also be a cracking, 50-50 bout for the British belt.
