Charlie Edwards will make the first defence of his WBC Flyweight World title against Angel Moreno on a huge night of boxing in the capital at the Copper Box Arena on March 23, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.
The BBBoC recently met to match various British and English title fights, with some interesting match-ups sent out to purse bids. Most notably, cruiserweight holder Matty Askin has been ordered to defend against the undefeated Lawrence Okolie, with bids due in by August 8 and the contest to take place by the end of November.
Josh Wale has had his next fight confirmed. The Barnsley bantamweight, who was most recently in action earlier this month, will defend his British crown against the mandatory challenger Ukashir Farooq. Stefy Bull, Wale’s promoter, will stage the fight –– the third defence for Wale, who will get the belt for keeps with a win –– on April 13 at Doncaster Dome.
He has been knocked down only to get up and win, he’s been stopped, knocked opponents out and he’s been cut and emerged victorious. All this and Liam Conroy still hasn’t boxed for an English title. That, however, changes on Saturday night when the 25-year-old Cumbrian fights for the Light Heavyweight version inside the baker’s oven that is the York Hall.
