A rematch between British middleweight champion Jason Welborn and Tommy Langford has been approved by the British Boxing Board of Control.

The Stewards decided to accept a request from Black Country Boxing promoter Errol Johnson for the rematch between the pair, which will take place on a date and venue yet to be announced – most likely Walsall in September.

Challenger Welborn stunned British titleholder Langford in their May 4 meeting at the Walsall Town Hall with scores of 114-113 twice, and the third judge awarding it to Langford 115-113.
