John Simpson is one of the most popular and richest Boxer who was born on July 26, 1983 in Greenock, Greenock, United Kingdom. John Simpson (born 26 July 1983) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2002 to 2015. He held the British featherweight title twice between 2006 and 2010 and the Commonwealth featherweight title from 2009 to 2010.
On 9 December 2006, Simpson fought Andy Morris in his third challenge for the British featherweight title. Simpson claimed the title after stopping Morris in the 5th round. The fight was stopped after referee John Keane deemed that a cut over Morris’ left eye was too severe to allow the fight to continue. Morris’ trainer Bob Shannon has argued that his fighter should have been allowed to continue.
On 6 August 2007, Simpson defended his British featherweight title with a fifth-round knockout of Ryan Barrett.
On 10 March 2007, Simpson lost a controversial points decision to Derry Mathews in a contest for the WBU featherweight title. Matthews was floored in the first round before Simpson was badly cut by an accidental headbutt. Mathews went on to be deducted points in the 6th and 9th rounds for hitting behind the head and holding. Despite the deductions and the knockdown, Mathews was awarded a wide points decision with scores of 118–112, 117–110 and 113–111. It was later announced that two of the ringside judges had failed to deduct the two points Mathews lost from their scorecards.
On 5 November 2005, exactly one-year after his last title challenge, Simpson fought Andy Morris for the vacant British featherweight title. Simpson was defeated by a unanimous decision with scores of 118–111, 117–111 and 118–110. Following this fight, Simpson lost to Stephen Foster Jr. via a unanimous points decision in a challenge for the WBU featherweight title.
