Louis Norman (born 18 December 1993) is a British professional boxer who held the English flyweight title from 2013 to 2015. He also challenged for the British flyweight and English super-flyweight titles in 2016 and the English bantamweight title in 2018.
Career
[edit]Born in Leicestershire and based in Shepshed, after fighting as an amateur out of Shepshed Amateur Boxing Club, Norman made his professional debut in April 2012, with a points win over Delroy Spencer. After winning his first five fights, including a win over Mohammed Waqas to take the British masters flyweight title,[2] he faced Nathan Reeve in December 2013 for the vacant English flyweight title, winning by unanimous decision.[3] He defended the title in May 2014 against Don Broadhurst, the fight ending a draw,[4] and lost it in September 2015 when he was outpointed by Charlie Edwards on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Gary Cornish.[5] In 2014, he was named Best Young Boxer at the Midlands Boxing Awards.[6]
In May 2016, Norman faced Andrew Selby for the vacant British flyweight title, losing by unanimous decision after struggling to make the weight.[7][8] He moved up to super flyweight in October 2016 to face Broadhurst for the vacant English title, losing via a split decision.[9] He fought Thomas Essomba for the vacant English bantamweight title in March 2018 but lost to a knockout from a body shot in the 6th round.[10]
