Isn't it meant to be a Welterweight British title eliminator?
I think most British eliminators are over 10 rounds, but maybe they can be over 12 if that is what is agreed, even without a title being on the line.

Think final eliminators are over 12 but any old eliminator is over 10 - thats the way I remember it but perhaps I'm wrong

Fury vs McDermott was over 12, so I think that might be the case.
Gavin vs Lomax can't be a final eliminator, can it?

I thought they would use the fact Lomax won Prizefighter as a way of building this one up. I don't think this will be a contest to be honest.

By the way, non-title 12 rounders used to be common...just not for some time.

That was back when all titles were fought over 15 rounds.
Who knows? Both men fought at welterweight, maybe somebody came up with a title name after the fight.
