Isaac Lowe will not defend a title this weekend. The featherweight, from Morecambe, was set to make the first defence of his Commonwealth crown, live on Sky Sports.

Paddy Barnes has rubber-stamped his name as a professional fighter by signing a managerial deal. The two-time Olympic bronze medallist, who was Ireland’s flag-bearer at Rio 2016 in Brazil, had a glittering amateur career but has made the decision to leave behind the vest and headguard and will instead punch for pay from now on.

Tommy Langford has confirmed that he will still appear in Wales next month –– despite his British title fight against Chris Eubank Jr. being off.

Chris Eubank Jr. is out of his next fight. The Brighton middleweight had been set to defend his British title next month, exclusively live on BoxNation. Eubank Jr. was scheduled to box former WBO Inter-Continental champion Tommy Langford over 12 rounds for the belt on October 22 at the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales.

Juan Diaz is ramping up his preparations ahead of proposed showdown with Terry Flanagan. The former WBO, IBO, WBA Super and IBF lightweight king, 42-4 (21 KOs), has been chasing a fight with the Ancoats champion, who is the current custodian of the Boxing Organisation crown, since the 27-year-old’s Las Vegas dream was momentarily curtailed last month.

Tommy Martin has had his appeal pushed back by three weeks. The former English super-lightweight champion, who has been out of action since January after suffering a maiden career defeat at the hands of John-Wayne Hibbert, was in front of the British Boxing Board of Control on Thursday.

Paddy Barnes has confirmed he is turning professional and leaving amateur boxing behind. Barnes, 29, competed in his third Olympics in the summer and is a two-time bronze medallist, having secured podium spots for Ireland in Beijing (2008) and London (2012) before being given the honour of being Ireland’s flag bearer at the Rio de Janeiro games earlier this year.

Stuart Hall has said that he will consider his future in boxing after taking a break with his family. The Darlington bantamweight was outpointed by Lee Haskins when he challenged the Bristolian for his IBF world title last weekend.

Dillian Whyte will finally get his shot at becoming domestic king next month. The Brixton heavyweight, who has already lost a challenge for the vacant British title once in his career to date, when he was stopped inside seven rounds by now-world champion Anthony Joshua last December, is slated to fight for the belt again.

Ohara Davies has been left in limbo regarding his next fight. The Hackney lightweight, whose nickname is ‘Two Tanks’, is the English champion at the weight and was set to come up against Willie Limond next month, exclusively live on Sky Sports.
