BBBofC release their latest British Championship news
All the latest news surrounding the prestigious Lonsdale belt, including the reigning titleholders and their mandatory challengers, as of June 9, 2021.
The biggest news in this month's notices is the proposed British super-welterweight championship final eliminator contest ordered between Anthony Fowler and Sam Eggington. Each camp has until July 14 to submit purse bids, but it's not clear if 'Savage' Sam will take the fight as he has been plotting a route to a world title shot this year.
Chris Billam-Smith vs Tommy McCarthy for the vacant cruiserweight belt is a fight many fans are eager to see.
However, there's disappointment that Jack Cullen withdrew from the super-middleweight final eliminator with Zak Chelli, as it was a contest that had excitement written all over it.
