Thomas Langford (born 12 July 1989) is a British professional boxer. He held the British middleweight title from 2016 to 2018, and the Commonwealth middleweight title in 2016.[1]
Langford made his professional debut on 8 September 2012, winning a four-round points decision against Steve Spence. On 4 July 2015, Langford won his first regional championship—the vacant WBO Inter-Continental middleweight title—by stopping Julio Cesar Avalos in four rounds.[2] A breakout year in 2016 saw him first win the vacant Commonwealth middleweight title on 12 March, scoring a unanimous decision over Lewis Taylor.[3] Langford was scheduled to face British middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. on 22 October, but Eubank Jr. withdrew from the fight in September due to an elbow injury.[4] On 26 November, Langford won the then-vacant British middleweight title with a split decision against Sam Sheedy.[5]
On May 4, 2018, Langford fought Jason Welborn. Jason Welborn retained the British middleweight title by beating Langford via split decision, 114-113, 114-113 and 113-115.[6]
In the rematch, the fight was as close as the first one, with Welborn again coming away with the split decision victory, winning 115-114, 114-113 and 113-114.[7]
On April 27, 2019, Langford fought Lerrone Richards for the vacant Commonwealth super middleweight championship. Richards won convincingly on the scorecards to win the Commonwealth belt, 118-110, 118-111 and 116-113.[8]
Langford is a supporter of West Bromwich Albion F.C.[9]
