Norwich-born heavyweight Sam Sexton holds an impressive 14 - 2 record, including a series of tournament and title wins.

Sexton started his pro fight career in 2005 with a points win over Paul Bonson at Norwich City Football Club's Carrow Road stadium.

The English heavyweight went on to register six more wins before suffering the first of two career defeats.

Fighting fellow Briton Dereck Chisora in 2008, Sexton was knocked out in the sixth.

He returned to secure six consecutive victories, including winning the second series of Prizefighter, the British Southern Area and Commonwealth Championships, before losing the second professional bout of his fight career.

Again it was Chisora who defeated him, this time taking nine rounds to do so. In losing the bout Sexton also lost his Commonwealth belt to Chisora.
