flanagan1By Scott Gilfoid: WBO lightweight champion Terry Flanagan (29-0, 12 KOs) has decided not to defend his title on December 19th on the undercard of the Andy Lee vs. Billy Joe Saunders card at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, UK. Flanagan, 26, says he wants to take a rest for the remainder of the year before returning in 2016 in February.

Flanagan is on a hot streak lately with him beating Diego Magdaleno by a 2nd round knockout earlier this month on October 10t, and before that stopping Jose Zepeda in the 2nd round in an injury stoppage last July.
