Jason Welborn vs. Mark Heffron - OFF

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Langford signs with bcb boxing and plans to moved up to to super middle. Rules him out

Terrible idea. He can’t handle the power at Middle so how will he fair against naturally bigger men at Super ? Suggest not too well.

I agree with you that it's a bad move but if he struggled to make middle his chin might be better at the higher weight

Fair play to whoever got him this fight ( don't know who promotes him). Hope the money is alright because Hurd is gonna muller him. Welborn is a tough man though and I hope he don't take to much punishment

[Deno1986]

No disrespect to Welborn but that matchup epitomises everything that’s wrong with boxing.

[Stuarty]

Was looking forward to Welborn v Hefron as well. He's gonna get punched upside down from Hurd! From Hurds' perspective, this is a piss poor match up!

[Ruthless-RKO]

No disrespect to Welborn but that matchup epitomises everything that’s wrong with boxing.

I would have easily preferred this fight at the MEN.. Would have been a good undercard fight for the Warrington-Frampton card.

Yes, if you gonna fight an overmatched opponent then at least do it in his backyard, while it doesnt create an even playing field it makes it a tad more interesting.

Wouldn't matter if it was in Welborns back garden with his dad as the referee and his nan and grandad in Hurds corner the outcome would be the same. I'm with Deno this is what's wrong with boxing. Can't knock Welborn though anyone in his situation would of jumped at the opportunity

Like i said it would make it more interesting, a bit like Barrera coming over here for Paul Loyd

[Ruthless-RKO]

Mark Heffron admits to being a little bemused over the apparent lack of enthusiasm amongst his middleweight rivals to step up and contest the British title against him.

The unbeaten knockout artist worked his way into mandatory position for a shot at the belt with a string of impressive victories and he was all set to take on the champion, Jason Welborn, who was fresh of a double over Tommy Langford.

The Manchester match-up was then aborted after purse bids had been won for Heffron to challenge for the title on the big Josh Warrington-Carl Frampton card on December 22.

It transpired that Welborn had understandably accepted a world title opportunity on December 1 against Jarrett Hurd on the undercard of Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder, but the development was still a blow to the ambitious Heffron.

“I was pretty gutted that Welborn vacated the title, but obviously he has got a big opportunity,” said the 21-0 man known as ‘Kid Dynamite’. “I knew straight away that he had vacated to fight for the world title because my manager rang me, but I was still gutted although I understand it.

“I’m not really bothered that I won’t be fighting a champion, I just want to fight for the British and it doesn’t matter who I am fighting – as long as I win!”

Heffron will still fight for the coveted Lonsdale belt at the Manchester Arena if a contender steps up to the plate and accepts the challenge. However, at the moment, willing volunteers are not queuing up around the corner.

“We’ve had a few names thrown at us to fight for the vacant title and every name we have said yes to, but the people it has been offered to have come back and said they don’t want the fight, so it is a bit hard work at the minute.

“I can’t understand it, can I ‘eck, because if someone offered me the chance to fight for the British title I would grab it with both hands, which I obviously have done anyway.

“Reece Cartwright got offered it and then came back not wanting it, but I don’t know for what reason, while I think Tommy Langford was asked and he is moving up a weight.

“It has now got back to me about Conrad Cummings as well and he has not taken it either. I think he has got something else going on.

“I just need somebody to come forward and take the fight now.

“After that, Elliott Matthews is fighting for the Commonwealth soon, so if he wins that and I win the British then we can get it on next for both.”

too bad about liam camerons issues, him vs heff wouldve been good at mw

heff defo has looked good in his fights vs limited opposition, interested to see him in a step up. welborn wouldve been really good for that.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Joe Mullender is the English Champion and fights on allegedly. This is a fight that could be made ? Mullender deserves a shot.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Wonder why Conrad Cummings turned down British title fight. Plenty of time until Dec 22.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Looks like Conrad Cummins will be replacing Keeler and fighting Brian Rose for the WBO Euro belt.

[Oiky]

Think keeler wouldlve beat rose
