Sheffield champion Sam O’maison wants British title chance – but he may have to go through a re-match first

Sam O'maison is awaiting a decision on whether he will get a shot at the British super lightweight title.

He is already English champion, but his draw with Kay Prospere at Bethnal Green last month didn't advance his case to take on British title holder Robbie Davies Jnr.

The British Boxing Board is expected to announce who will be mandatory challenger for that belt, this week. O'maison's trainer Ryan Rhodes said: "Sam only boxed to 50% of his potential in his last fight and the Board might order a re-match with Prospere. But we believe nobody is in a better position to challenge Davies Jr. We are really pushing hard to get that."
