Sam Eggington


Sam Eggington is a British professional boxer. He has held the IBO super-welterweight title as well as the British, Commonwealth and European welterweight titles.

Professional career

Eggington won the vacant Commonwealth welterweight title with seventh-round technical knockout success over Joseph Lamptey from Ghana on 9 May 2015 in Birmingham.
He added the British welterweight title when he beat Glenn Foot by unanimous technical decision at Manchester Arena on 18 July 2015, when the ringside doctor called a halt to the contest at the end of the eighth-round due to a cut near Foot's right eye caused by an accidental head clash.
Eggington lost both his titles to Bradley Skeete on 5 March 2016, going down by unanimous decision at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.
A 10th round knockout of Spain's defending champion, Ceferino Rodríguez, saw Eggington become the European welterweight champion at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on 13 May 2017.
He lost the belt via split decision to Mohamed Mimoune from France in his next fight on 17 October 2017 at Manchester Arena.
Having moved up in weight divisions, Eggington won the vacant IBO super-welterweight World title on 25 June 2022, with a unanimous decision victory against Polish boxer Przemyslaw Zysk at Coventry Skydome.
Once again his title reign was a short one as he lost in his first defence by majority decision to Ireland's Australia-based Dennis Hogan at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, on 8 October 2022.
On 1 March 2024, Eggington failed in his bid to become a two-time European champion when he lost by majority decision to German Abass Baraou in a contest for the vacant super-welterweight title in Telford.
He returned to winning ways with a six-round points success over Alan Sebastian Velazquez at The Premier Suite in Cannock on 28 November 2024.
Eggington faced WBC International Silver super-welterweight champion Lee Cutler at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 20 April 2025. At the start of the ninth round the fight was stopped on the advice of the ringside doctor due to a cut and swelling near the challenger's eye caused by an accidental clash of heads. As a result the contest went to the judges' scorecards with Eggington ruled the winner by unanimous technical decision.
He was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the WBC in November 2025.
