By Jeff Aranow: Sam Sexton (24-3, 9 KOs) pounded out a dull 12 round unanimous decision victory last Friday night in beating the 6’7” Scottish fighter Gary Cornish (24-2, 12 KOs) to win the vacant BBBofC British heavyweight title at the Meadowbank Sports Centre, in Edinburgh, Scotland.
By Jeff Aranow: The British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) has rejected the idea of unbeaten Dave Allen (9-0-1, 6 KOs) fighting for the vacant British heavyweight title later this year. They see the 24-year-old Allen as lacking in experience right now for him to be challenging for the British belt. Instead, the Boxing Board has selected 31-year-old Sam Sexton (22-3, 8 KOs) to fight for the British title.
Sexton will be facing Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13 KOs). Sexton has won his last seven fights since going through a rough patch with his career in getting knocked out by David Price by a 4th round knockout in May 2012, and Dereck Chisora.
Those fights showed Sexton’s limitations as a heavyweight. He wasn’t able to compete with either of those guys. Sexton’s best wins of his career came against Martin Rogan, who he defeated twice in a row in 2009.
By Scott Gilfoid: David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) picked up the British heavyweight title he was so badly craving with a 4th round TKO win over Sam Sexton (15-3, 6 KO’s) tonight in Aintree, but I’m not about to call it an impressive performance by Price because he looked beatable to the extreme.
By William Mackay: Undefeated heavyweight David Price (13-0, 11 KO’s) blasted out the shorter, weaker Sam Sexton (15-3, 6 KO’s) in the 4th round tonight to win the vacant British heavyweight title in Aintree. Price put Sexton down a total of three times before the fight was eventually stopped in the 4th.
By Scott Gilfoid: David Price (12-0, 10 KO’s) believes he’s got to take things slowly in his fight against Sam Sexton for the vacant British heavyweight strap at the Aintree Equestrian Centre, in Liverpool, UK. Price, 6’8″ doesn’t want to rush Sexton and maybe run into something big.
By William Mackay: David Price (12-0, 10 KO’s) takes his biggest test of his career on Saturday night in a fight against the durable and tough Sam Sexton (15-2, 6 KO’s) in a 12 round bout at the Aintree Equestrian Centre, in Liverpool, UK. The British heavyweight title will be up for grabs for the fight, but a lot more will be at stake than just the domestic level title.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten 28-year-old heavyweight prospect David Price (12-0, 10 KO’s) is a heavy favorite not only to defeat Sam Sexton (15-2, 6 KO’s) this Saturday night but also stop him early in their fight for the vacant British heavyweight title at the Aintree Equestrian Centre, in Liverpool, UK.
By William Mackay: Former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury says he won’t bother watching unbeaten David Price’s fight this Saturday night against Sam Sexton, because he sees Price as being a domestic level fighter only.
