While most regional titles made available for a fight are purely for cosmetic purposes, there is a certain allure to Lonsdale titles bestowed upon British fights.
At no point in its more than 100 years of existence have twin brothers ever simulatenously held such titles. There now exists the chance for history to be made.
Ryan Walsh looks to join his twin brother Liam in the championship circle, when he faces countryman Samir Mouneimne on September 26 at Wembley Stadium in London.
At stake is the vacant British featherweight title, with a win by Ryan making he and Liam the first-ever twins to simultaneously own Lonsdale titles. Liam has held the super featherweight crown since last November and will just two weeks later.
“Twins holding the British title simultaneously has never been achieved so I’m going out there to make history and put our names down in the books,” said Walsh (18-1-1, 8KOs). “It’s certainly not an easy night against Mouneimne, he comes from a good gym and he’ll be up for the job as he’s aiming for his own piece of history by becoming Hull’s first ever British champion.
“But I’m so single minded and totally focussed on beating Mouneimne that nothing will get in the way of me achieving my dream and that of my brother Liam.” [Click Here To Read More]
