British Titles Light Heavyweight - Eliminator Dan Azeez vs Ricky Summer - 19 February (Lee Eaton) Super Middleweight - Vacant Willie Hutchinson vs Lennox Clarke - TBA (Frank Warren) Super Welterwieght - Vacant Ted Cheeseman vs JJ Metcalf - TBA (Eddie Hearn) Welterweight Chris Jenkins vs Ekow Essuman - TBA (Frank Warren) Super Lightweight Akeem Enis Brown vs Sam Maxwell - TBA (Frank Warren) Lightweight - Vacant Liam Walsh vs Paul Hyland Jnr - 19 Feb (Leigh Eaton) Featherweight - Vacant Reece Mould vs Leigh Wood - TBA (Eddie Hearn) Some fairly entertaining fights, Sam Maxwell vs Akeem Enis Brown is a good test. Be interesting what he makes of his awkward style. AEB not the most exciting watch but is a good step up for Sam Maxwell.
It never came out why Gill pulled out of the mandated spot when the board put him in with Reece Mould last month. He's never given a reason why he didn't take the fight with Reece, which is his prerogative of course but still, it doesn't look good. People will infer that he doesn't fancy it. Not sure if the board putting in Leigh wood is an easier fight or harder than the Gill fight for Reece,either way I'm looking forward to it.
Good luck to Ricky Summers and Lennox Clarke. A Lonsdale Belt would be a huge boost to Errol Johnson and all at BCB.
Dan Azeez is a good fighter, rarely talked about. Hope to see him in the mix at British level, there are still so many potentially great LHW matchups that have not happened.
