Faulks Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The winner of Sam Sexton's Commonwealth heavyweight title fight with Martin Rogan will be in line for a crack at the British title. The pair meet in Belfast on November 6 at the Odyssey Arena in a highly-anticipated rematch. And the British Boxing Board of Control has announced that whoever emerges victorious will be mandatory challenger for the British title. It was widely expected that the title would become vacant following champion Danny Williams' loss in the recent Prizefighter tournament. But there is no indication that Williams will retire despite the set back, and the Board have decided not to strip him. However, given his recent form, both Sexton and Rogan will be confident of beating him. Despite being a former world title challenger and a long-term British champion, Williams appears to be well and truly on the slide. Sexton and Rogan go at it again on November 6 following their controversial first fight. Norfolk's Sexton won it in the eighth round when he forced Rogan to retire with a badly swollen eye, but had been out on his feet earlier in the session.

mofo2 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'd expect that Rogan has the style to beat Danny and he would probably take him out in the first few rounds with his mauler approach...but Sexton is a more considered boxer and he takes his time a little more and is more than willing to fight on the back foot and this would suit Danny!! I think the slower pace of the fight would suit him to a comfortable Victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_budweiser Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 i hope its williams v rogan. rogans a really likable guy, 38 years old and could be british champion after 14 fights it would be a great achievement if he can pull it off.

mofo2 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I agree mate...but he's a poor advert for the state of British Boxing though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faulks Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 I think it will be Rogan also, Sorry Danners but i think he might just do your man if he gets the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I had thought Danny was going to retire but with the BBB of C not stripping him it gives him an excuse to continue(and boxers never need much of an excuse). I can't see a last, last hurrah for Danny - he's had many already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telboy66 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I hope Martin gets his revenge over Sexton this time & goes on to send Williams into retirement, I think Rogan will be too much for Danny boy to handle at this the twilight of his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
