Stephen Smith vs John Simpson Rematch Looms For 2011?

John Simpson could chase an instant rematch with Stephen Smith after once again landing the British featherweight title.

The gritty Scotsman defied the odds to beat Martin Lindsay in Belfast on Wednesday night.

The points victory meant Simpson regained his Lonsdale belt - a title he felt he should never have lost.

In his last fight, the Greenock man was scalped by Smith on a split decision in Glasgow, losing the Commonwealth featherweight title.

He demanded an immediate rematch, and could now get one after beating Lindsay.

Smith's victory over Simpson had put him next in line for a crack at the British title.

The talented scouser has been on the sidelines with an injury he sustained in the Simspon fight.

But he is hoping to make a swift return in the New Year.
