Tommy Coyle (born 2 September 1989) is a British professional boxer.[2] He has challenged for the Commonwealth lightweight and British super-lightweight titles, and is a former WBC Silver International lightweight champion.[3][4] He is the older brother of Leeds United footballer Lewie Coyle.[5]
Professional career
Coyle made his professional debut on 18 September 2009, winning a six-round points decision against Kristian Laight.[2] On 6 October 2012, having won his first thirteen fights, Coyle lost a three-round unanimous decision to Gary Sykes in the quarter-finals of the Prizefighter lightweight tournament.[6] Coyle suffered his second professional defeat to Derry Mathews on 13 July 2013, in a tenth-round stoppage.[7]
Two of Coyle's best wins came in 2014, beginning with a last-round stoppage over Daniel Brizuela on 22 February, in what was named a Fight of the Year candidate by ESPN,[8] and Round of the Year by The Ring magazine. This was followed up on 25 October with a surprise knockout of battled-hardened slugger Michael Katsidis in two rounds.[9] These two fights helped set up a showdown with fellow Hull native and 2012 Olympic gold medallist Luke Campbell, with their highly anticipated fight eventually taking place on 1 August 2015. Suffering four knockdowns along the way, Coyle was again stopped in the tenth round.[10]
