Keepin that belt warm until Triple D turns 21.

****** BBBofc Rules.

Quite a good fight tbh.

I wonder if Joe Joyce could win that belt in two fights.

Sam Sexton was a class above Cornish. Sam is a good domestic operator. He only got blasted out by a confident David Price. He could probably avenge that defeat

Is this legit? Why the f#ck does it matter how old you are to fight for the British title?

But sh^t honestly him taking a year to gain experience isn't a bad idea, but hell he or some other high level prospect could theoretical be a world class guy before they hit 21 & win a world title before a national title lol. And sh^t I imagine some have I haven't been paying attention.

I had no idea you had to be 21 to win a British title

It makes no sense at all if true

Agreed about SS, decent British Champion although he won't hold on to it long with guys like Triple D, Nathan Gorman and JJ all coming through and ready to fight for the British Title next year.

Yeah its a crazy ruling, remember this is the same BBBofC that have kept Tyson Fury in limbo for 2 years. Effectly he could fight for a World Title now but not the British title until he turns 21.

Frank Warren has mentioned he was going to try and change it but now Joe Joyce has turned Pro and on fast track, he probably thinking to let Dubois get as much experience as possible before those two face each other.

His other prospect is 21 year old Nathan Gorman who will probably fight Sexton for British title early next year and the plan was to match Gorman vs Dubois in September 2018 when he turns 21.

I guess it all depends on whether Joyce goes after British Title? Joyce is already 32 years old so they may skip British Title for Euro instead.

Yeah it's true. He could fight for a World title but not British.

The British Heavyweight Title fight have produced some great fights down the year so i'm glad we'll be getting some great potential match ups for it towards the end of 2018.

Nathan Gorman vs Sam Sexton
Daniel Dubois vs Nathan Gorman
Nathan Gorman vs Joe Joyce
Daniel Dubois vs Joe Joyce (doubt they would be matched up so early)

Danny Williams vs Mark Potter is still one of my Top 10 Most Amazing Boxing Performances i've ever seen in a Boxing ring.

Good for Sexton. Both these guys are solid British level fighters and will be good tests for all these young prospects in the UK that are coming up the ladder. You've got Ilunga/Sokolowski coming up tomorrow, Little/Sandland next week, Joyce/Lewison the week after that, followed by the Rhino/Thomas rematch for the commonwealth title and finally Gorman/Webb for the English title. Good stuff coming up for hardcore boxing fans
