Professional career

Eggington won the vacant Commonwealth welterweight title with seventh-round technical knockout success over Joseph Lamptey from Ghana on 9 May 2015 in Birmingham.^[1]

He added the British welterweight title when he beat Glenn Foot by unanimous technical decision at Manchester Arena on 18 July 2015, when the ringside doctor called a halt to the contest at the end of the eighth-round due to a cut near Foot's right eye caused by an accidental head clash.^[2]

Eggington lost both his titles to Bradley Skeete on 5 March 2016, going down by unanimous decision at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham.^[3]

A 10th round knockout of Spain's defending champion, Ceferino Rodríguez, saw Eggington become the European welterweight champion at Birmingham's Utilita Arena on 13 May 2017.^[4]

He lost the belt via split decision to Mohamed Mimoune from France in his next fight on 17 October 2017 at Manchester Arena.^[5]

Having moved up in weight divisions, Eggington won the vacant IBO super-welterweight World title on 25 June 2022, with a unanimous decision victory against Polish boxer Przemyslaw Zysk at Coventry Skydome.^[6]

Once again his title reign was a short one as he lost in his first defence by majority decision to Ireland's Australia-based Dennis Hogan at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, on 8 October 2022.^[7]

On 1 March 2024, Eggington failed in his bid to become a two-time European champion when he lost by majority decision to German Abass Baraou in a contest for the vacant super-welterweight title in Telford.^[8]

He returned to winning ways with a six-round points success over Alan Sebastian Velazquez at The Premier Suite in Cannock on 28 November 2024^[9]

Eggington faced WBC International Silver super-welterweight champion Lee Cutler at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 20 April 2025.^[10] At the start of the ninth round the fight was stopped on the advice of the ringside doctor due to a cut and swelling near the challenger's eye caused by an accidental clash of heads. As a result the contest went to the judges' scorecards with Eggington ruled the winner by unanimous technical decision.^[11][12]
