Tommy Langford


Thomas Langford is a British professional boxer. He held the British middleweight title from 2016 to 2018, and the Commonwealth middleweight title in 2016.

Professional career

Langford made his professional debut on 8 September 2012, winning a four-round points decision against Steve Spence. On 4 July 2015, Langford won his first regional championship—the vacant WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title—by stopping Julio Cesar Avalos in four rounds. A breakout year in 2016 saw him first win the vacant Commonwealth middleweight title on 12 March, scoring a unanimous decision over Lewis Taylor. Langford was scheduled to face British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. on 22 October, but Eubank Jr. withdrew from the fight in September due to an elbow injury. On 26 November, Langford won the then-vacant British middleweight title with a split decision against Sam Sheedy.

Langford vs. Welborn

On 4 May 2018, Langford fought Jason Welborn. Jason Welborn retained the British middleweight title by beating Langford via split decision, 114-113, 114-113 and 113-115.

Langford vs Welborn II

In the rematch, the fight was as close as the first one, with Welborn again coming away with the split decision victory, winning 115-114, 114-113 and 113-114.

Langford vs. Richards

On 27 April 2019, Langford fought Lerrone Richards for the vacant Commonwealth super middleweight championship. Richards won convincingly on the scorecards to win the Commonwealth belt, 118-110, 118-111 and 116-113.

Personal life
