Edinburgh's Kenny Anderson has vacated the British super middleweight title for personal reasons, leaving former champions Paul Smith and Tony Dodson free to contest the Lonsdale belt. Smith versus Dodson has been sent out to purse bids by the BBBoC, setting up a Liverpool derby between two rivals who waged a bloody, pitched battle for Smith's then-title in March 2010.
Anderson won the belt courtesy of a fifth-round TKO over former WBC titlist Robin Reid in October. However, the 30-year-old made the decision to vacate the belt rather than keep Smith, who was in line for a crack at the new champion, waiting around for his shot. Kevin Maree, Anderson's trainer, confirmed the news when speaking to BoxingScene. "Kenny has had to vacate for personal reasons," said Maree.
