Esham Pickering Biography

Esham Pickering is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on August 7, 1976 in Newark-on-Trent, United Kingdom. Esham Pickering (born 7 August 1976) is an British ex-professional boxer, who was a champion from 1996 until 2014. He was a challenger in the fight for his WBO bantamweight title back in 2000. At the regional level He was the holder of titles including the British super bantamweight championship three times from 2003 to 2008 as well as The Commonwealth super bantamweight title from 2003 until 2005 and in 2005, the EBU European super bantamweight title from 2004 until 2005. He also fought twice in the race for an EBU British featherweight title in 1998 and in 2008, as well as to defend an EBU European featherweight title in 2009.

On the 16th of January, 2004 Pickering went for Bradford’s Town and Country Club in Bradford to win the European super bantamweight title. The adversary, Italian Vincenzo Gigliotti was stopped in the 10th round , meaning that Pickering was able to hold his Commonwealth as well as the European titles simultaneously. Pickering was able to defend his belt three times more, namely in the fight against Juan Garcia Martin in May 2004 and Miguel Mallon in June 2005 The latter win took the place of Madrid. Between the defences on May 8, 2005, was an eight-round win over the former British as well as European champion Noel Wilders. Pickering placed his belts in the ring when on October 28, 2005, he took on the newly-crowned British champion Michael Hunter for the belt that he has never lost in the boxing ring. In a highly entertaining fight Pickering ended up going home empty and beaten, settling a majority decision to suffer his fourth defeat of his career in a fight that was held in Hunter’s backyard in his home, the Borough Hall in Hartlepool. Pickering bounced back from his loss by winning against French professional Frederic Bonifai and with Hunter opting to fight to defend an IBF World title he found himself in the fight for the vacant title. The fight of 11 November 2006 was held at Dublin with Ireland’s Bernard Dunne lift the belt by winning unanimously after 12 rounds.

Pickering returned to the ring on 23 May 2009 to defeat journeyman Sid Razak in Sleaford, Lincolnshire and followed this by traveling to the Ukraine for an unexpected chance to regain the European title. Meeting reigning champion Oleg Yefimovych on 3 October 2009 in what was a voluntary defence for the champion, Pickering was outclassed and stopped in the third round. He returned once more on 29 May 2010 this time to compete in the Prizefighter series held at the York Hall in Bethnal Green. Pickering faced Josh Wale in the quarter final of the tournament, losing on a split decision to the younger man.

Following the loss by Martinez, Pickering fought only twice in 2001 , both occasions defeating fellow traveler Carl Allen. In 2002, Pickering was able to take on Allen twice more and again won each time. Between those victories came a loss for the third time in his career for Pickering traveling into the Canary Islands to challenge Spaniard Alejandro Monzon and dropping a split decision. On February 8, 2003, Pickering was a contender for his vacant Commonwealth super bantamweight title . He eventually won the title, beating Kenyan Duncan Karanja to take the title. In his subsequent fight on 12 July 2003, Pickering was the first to defend of the title, taking on Brian Carr in a fight which put an unclaimed British title put on the line. Pickering knocked out Carr at the end of the third round of the Braehead Arena in Glasgow to go home from Scotland with both titles. Another defense of his Commonwealth title was held on October 24, 2003, with Pickering keeping the belt taking on Ghana’s Alfred Tetteh at the York Hall. Pickering would not continue to defend his British title, opting instead to take the European path, meaning it was likely that Michael Hunter would go on to win the belt.
