Danny McIntosh (born 1 March 1980) is a British light heavyweight boxer based in Norfolk. He is the current holder of the English light heavyweight title.[1]
Early Professional Career
McIntosh's first professional fight took place in April 2005 at the Sports Village in Norwich and resulted in a six round points victory over Omid Bourzo. He fought twice more in 2005 winning on both occasions leaving him with a record of 3-0 at the end of his first year. McIntosh then had a full year away from the ring before returning in October 2006 with a win over the then unbeaten Matty Hough (5-0) in Walsall. Only two fights followed in 2007 with victories over experienced journeyman Rob Burton and a career best performance ending the unbeaten record of Joey Vegas (then 10-0). One more victory in February 2008 enhanced his record to 7-0 and set him up for a shot at the English light heavyweight title.
English Champion
Danny's first professional title win came on the undercard of Jonathon Thaxton's European title victory over Juan Diaz Melero at the Norwich Showground in October 2008. The experienced Steve Spartacus represented a step up for McIntosh but he won by tko in the 7th round to claim the title. McIntosh has since made two defences of the belt beating Nottingham's Rod Anderton in December[2] and Southampton's Matthew Barney in March 2009.
