Ben Vaughan (born 19 May 1999) is an English professional boxer. He has been Midlands Area welterweight champion since April 2024 and has also challenged for the WBO European title in the same weight division.
Career
After an amateur career fighting out of Kings Heath Boxing Club and winning 54 of 68 bouts including claiming four national age-group titles, Vaughan turned professional in 2021.[3] He made his pro-debut at The Deco in Northampton on 10 October 2021, defeating Ezequiel Gregores on points in a four-round contest.[4]
Unbeaten in his first nine outings in the paid ranks, Vaughan faced fellow undefeated boxer Liam Gould for the vacant Midlands Area welterweight title at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham on 12 April 2024.[5] He won by stoppage in the first round.[6][7]
He challenged WBO European welterweight champion Ekow Essuman at Bp pulse LIVE Arena in Birmingham on 2 November 2024, losing via majority decision. Two of the ringside judges favoured Essuman 97–93 and 97–94 respectively, while the third scored the fight a 95–95 draw.[8][9]
Vaughan got back to winning ways in his next contest, defeating Octavian Gratii on points in a non-title bout over six rounds at the Mercure Hotel in Northampton on 21 February 2025.[10]
