British Lightweight Title

In the summer of 2008 Lee McAllister gave up his two title belts (WBU world lightweight and WBU world light-welterweight) so that the British Board of Boxing Control could name him as the number one challenger for John Murray and his British lightweight title. It is thought that he could fight John Murray this year with the bout broadcast on Sky Sports. This will take place on 17 January 2009. This was postponed from the 29 November 2008 and the 13 December 08 because John Murray had to recover from a cut eye.

He entered the ring to the tune of 500 Miles by The Proclaimers and proved that he's ready to go another 500 Miles and aim for the British Title with a fight hoped for with Lee Meager so that he can claim and wear the coveted Lonsdale Belt.
