Brandon boxing club's 'EL CANNON’, Callum Walton has won the vacant Northern Area Super-Middleweight title in a bout with local rival Jack Scott from Jobes Gym in Newcastle.

They battled it out at The Sunderland Live Arena for the vacant Northern Area Super-Middleweight title, on the 31st October, 2026.

Callum, 31-years-old, was coming off the back off his first professional loss against Grant Dennis who Scott had defeated and floored twice.

Walton went into the bout giving away experience to the seasoned and well travelled, Scott, and was the underdog heading into the fight.

After a very close opening round, Callum stamped his authority from the second and got stronger in the third

In the fourth round he unleashed vicious combinations until the Scottish referee Kenny Pringle had seen enough and waved the contest over with Scott cut under his left eye and stuck on the ropes.

Walton won his first professional title, following in the footsteps of local legend Davey ‘BRANDON’ Ogilvie.

Club spokesman, Alex Oliver said:

"The club say they have Davey’s photos up in the gym at Brandon, courtesy of his family, and Callum’s from Saturday night will be going alongside them.

"It was a fantastic evening for ‘El Cannon’ and The Brandon Boxing Club with many of the younger members in attendance to witness Callum’s victory.

"Callum is a great role model for all the children and young people at the club showing what can be achieved with hard work and dedication."
