Full card and undercard on the event page.

On 20 December 2025, Troy Williamson stopped Callum Simpson in round 10, stripping Simpson of his British, European and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles in the process. Eight months later they meet again at the First Direct Arena, Leeds — Simpson's backyard — with Williamson holding what he took and Simpson 19-1 after four straight stoppages before that loss. The rematch is 12 rounds and Simpson's chance to prove December was a one-off.

Style read

Both men are orthodox and both have gone the distance in every fight bar the first clash — Simpson was stopped once, Williamson never. Height is 11cm in Simpson's favour; he's the taller, rangier man at 191cm with a 191cm reach. Williamson's 180cm frame has won 27 without a single KO on his record,…

How each fighter wins

Troy Williamson

Williamson drags Simpson into deep water again. He broke Simpson down over 10 rounds in December; a repeat means volume, lateral movement, and targeting the body until Simpson's output drops. If the 10th-round TKO was fatigue or a specific adjustment, Williamson replicates it. He's 27-4-1 with no knockouts, so the script is minutes and pressure until Simpson can't keep up.

Callum Simpson

Simpson changes what went wrong in round 10. He was unbeaten before December, had stopped Zucco for the European title, and blitzed Woodall in two rounds earlier in 2025. If he boxes behind the jab, uses the 11cm height edge to control range, and doesn't let Williamson settle into rhythm, the longer man wins on points. Simpson's never been outboxed over 12 — only stopped once, and that's the figh…

Williamson vs Simpson II — the 10th-round stoppage that changed everything

Boxing News Staff · Updated 7 August 2026

    Williamson to win

    TBD

    Williamson already solved Simpson over 10 rounds in December, and Simpson's never been 12 before as the challenger. The height gap didn't save Simpson last time; Williamson's workrate and body attack broke him down in the 10th. Unless Simpson's made a significant tactical adjustment in eight months, the result repeats.

How to bet on Troy Williamson vs. Callum Simpson 2

Boxing markets settle a little differently to major-league sports — a few basics that pay off before you place a bet:

  • Moneyline — a straight pick on the winner. A negative price (e.g. −180) is the favourite; a positive price (+150) is the underdog.
  • Method of victory — KO/TKO, submission (MMA only), decision, or DQ. Reads like a moneyline but only cashes if your fighter wins by the exact method you picked.
  • Total rounds (over / under) — a bet on how long the fight lasts. In boxing, a 12-round title fight typically prices around 9.5 rounds. Over hits if the fight finishes in the second half of round 10 or later.
  • Round group / round betting — a bet on the specific round or a bracket of rounds the fight ends in. Long odds, high variance — a small-stake / high-reward market.
  • Prop bets— everything else: knockdowns, judges' scorecards, "fight goes the distance", combined significant strikes. Props settle on the fighter's performance rather than the raw result.

Always compare the same market across multiple sportsbooks before placing a bet — prices routinely differ by a full point or more, especially on method and prop markets.
