Tyler Denny (born 2 July 1991) is an English professional boxer who is a former European middleweight champion. He has also held the English middleweight title and challenged for the British and Commonwealth championships in the same weight division.

Career

[edit]

A former Midlands Area amateur champion, Denny turned professional in 2015, defeating Shaun Watt on points in a four-round contest in his first pro-fight on 27 March that year.[3]

Unbeaten in first 11 bouts, he faced Reece Cartwright for the vacant English middleweight title at Walsall Town Hall on 22 September 2018, losing the fight when the ringside doctor ordered it to be stopped in round eight due to facial injuries he had sustained.[4][5]

Denny had a second attempt at winning the title on 30 November 2019, when he took on Linus Udofia at York Hall in London, but again fell short, losing by majority decision with two of the ringside judges scoring the fight 97–94 and 96–94 for his opponent, while the third had it a 95–95 draw.[6][7]

On 13 November 2021, Denny hoped to make it third time lucky as he took on River Wilson-Bent for the English title at Coventry Skydome. However, the contest ended in a controversial technical draw when the referee stopped it in the seventh round because of a cut over Wilson-Bent's left eye caused by an accidental clash of heads. The judges' scorecards were split with one favouring each fighter and the other tied.[8][9]

A rematch was ordered and took place on 25 June 2022 at the same venue. Denny won the fight to finally become English middleweight champion at the fourth time of asking via split decision with two judges giving the bout in his favour 97–93 and 96–93 respectively and the third scoring it 96–94 for Wilson-Bent.[10][11]

He successfully defended his title with unanimous decision wins over Bradley Rea at Manchester Arena on 12 November 2022,[12][13] and Brad Pauls at Wembley Arena in London on 11 February 2023.[14]

Denny challenged European middleweight champion Matteo Signani at Wolverhampton Civic Hall on 18 November 2023, winning the bout when his opponent failed to answer the bell at the start of round eight.[15][16][17]

He made his first defense of the title against Felix Cash at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 22 June 2024. The referee stopped the fight in the fifth round due to a cut on Cash's right eyelid caused by an accidental clash of heads. All three judges scorecards had Denny ahead at that point meaning he retained his crown via technical decision.[18][19][20]

Denny faced Hamzah Sheeraz at Wembley Stadium on the undercard of the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois heavyweight world title contest on 21 September 2024, with his European title and his opponent's Commonwealth belt on the line. He lost by stoppage in the second round.[21][22][23]

He got back to winning ways in his next fight, defeating Elvis Ahorgah on points at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham on 20 April 2025[24][25] and followed that up with another win by the same method over Grant Dennis at the Town Hall in Dudley on 5 December 2025.[26]

Denny challenged British and Commonwealth middleweight champion George Liddard at the Copper Box Arena in London on 21 March 2026.[27][28] He lost via unanimous decision.[29][30]

In his next fight, Denny faced undefeated Callum Walsh over 10 rounds at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, on 8 August 2026. He sent his opponent to the canvas in the first round, before suffering a knockdown himself in the second and eventually losing by unanimous decision.[31][32]

Personal life

[edit]

Denny worked as a plumber before becoming a full-time professional boxer.[33][34]
