A man in a hurry gets his payback
Callum Simpson had been waiting eight months for this night. He got it.
In Leeds, the Brit beat Troy Williamson on points. Unanimous decision. 116-112, 117-112, 115-113. All three judges saw it the same way. No argument.
At the end of it, the British and Commonwealth super-middleweight belts were back around his waist. The same ones he lost in December.
Try it for $0.99.
December would not go away
You have to go back to their first fight. In December 2025, Williamson sprang the surprise. Stopped in round 10. Simpson on the canvas, his titles gone.
Eight months later, the script flips. Simpson saw it through this time. Twelve rounds. No disastrous lapse. Just discipline and patience.
Williamson, meanwhile, leaves empty-handed. The one-night champion is a challenger again.
Barnsley breathes again
For Simpson, this was more than getting his belts back. It was personal revenge. A statement to the people who had written him off too soon.
What comes next? It moves up a level. A fighter who wins back what was his rarely feels like stopping there.
