Liam Smith beats Erick Ochieng for British light middleweight title

Liam Smith beats Erick Ochieng to win the British light middleweight title.

Liam Smith has taken a unanimous decision over Erick Ochieng to win the British light middleweight title at the Olympia.

In doing so, the 25-year-old has made history along with his two brothers in becoming the first boxing family in 104 years to boast three British champions at the same time.

The early rounds were close but from the fourth onward 'Beefy' dominated the contest and pulled away from 'The Eagle'.

All three ringside judges scored the bout in favour of Smith, with two marking their cards 117-112, 117-12 and the other 116-113.

Older brothers Paul Smith and Stephen Smith hold the super middleweight and super featherweight titles respectively.

Meanwhile, youngest sibling Callum Smith scored his sixth straight first-round knockout earlier in the evening against Patrick Mendy, which brought him the English super middleweight title in just his eighth fight.
