Tommy Coyle (born 2 September 1989) is a British professional boxer.[1] He has challenged once for the Commonwealth lightweight title, and is a former WBC Silver International and IBF International lightweight champion.[2][3] He is the older brother of Leeds United footballer Lewie Coyle.
Professional career
On 13 July 2013, Coyle fought Derry Mathews for the vacant Commonwealth lightweight title, but was stopped in the tenth round.[4] One of Coyle's most notable wins came on 25 October 2014, when he stopped Michael Katsidis in two rounds.[5] This was one of a series of fights which set up a showdown with fellow Hull native 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.[6]
