Tom Doran (born 7 August 1987) is a Welsh professional boxer. He currently holds the WBC International middleweight title, and has challenged once for the British middleweight title.[1] Outside of boxing, Doran works as an aircraft maintenance technician.[2]

Amateur career

Doran fought as an amateur for Shotton Amateur Boxing Club, in the welterweight division.[3]

Professional career

On 23 May 2009, Doran made his professional debut in a four-round points decision victory over Alex Spitko.[1] After defeating Max Maxwell via first-round stoppage on 20 May 2011, Doran would not fight for three years. He returned to the ring on 24 May 2014 to score a six-round points decision over Harry Matthews.[4] On 14 February 2015, Doran won the Prizefighter middleweight tournament, earning £32,000 after stopping Cello Renda in the third round of the final.[5]

Doran won his first regional championship—the vacant WBC International middleweight title—in an action-packed two rounds against Luke Keeler on 2 April 2016. In round one, both fighters scored knockdowns; Doran went on to finish Keeler in the second round with two further knockdowns.[6] On 25 June 2016, Doran faced British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr., but was stopped (and knocked down four times) after four one-sided rounds.[7]
