Career

Holmes made his professional debut at King George's Hall in Blackburn on 30 March 2019, winning a four-round contest against Naheem Chaudhry on points in a fight which saw him knock his opponent to the canvas during the first round. [3]

After a stop-start career that was hampered by two hand surgeries and a failed brain scan, [4] he won his first pro-title by claiming the vacant English super-featherweight championship with a fourth round stoppage success over Lewis Wood at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester on 16 November 2024.
