Sam Noakes (born 20 July 1997) is an English professional boxer who holds the British, Commonwealth and European lightweight titles.[1]
Professional career[edit]
After an amateur career boxing out of Westree ABC which included winning the England Boxing National Amateur Championships light-welterweight title, Noakes turned professional in July 2019 signing a four-year contract with promoter Frank Warren.[2] His first pro fight was in September 2019 at the Royal Albert Hall in London when he won via stoppage after opponent Chris Adaway quit on his stool before the final round.[3] He claimed the vacant Commonwealth lightweight title in November 2022 defeating Calvin McCord by technical knockout in round four at the The O2 Arena in London.[4] In February 2024, Noakes won the vacant British lightweight title by stopping Lewis Sylvester in the fourth round at the Copper Box Arena in London.[5] Noakes became European lightweight champion with a unanimous points victory over Frenchman Yvan Mendy in a fight for the vacant title held at the York Hall in London in April 2024.[6]
