Sam Noakes (13-0, 13 KOs), a beacon of British boxing talent, is poised for a pivotal clash against the seasoned French fighter Yvan Mendy (48-6-1, 22 KOs) for the vacant European lightweight championship. Set against the historic backdrop of London's York Hall, this encounter is a significant milestone in the young Brit's burgeoning career.

This upcoming bout with Mendy, however, represents a formidable challenge. At 38 years old, Mendy brings a wealth of experience to the ring. His career highlights include holding the European title twice, and a notable victory over Olympic gold medalist Luke Campbell in 2015, showcasing his ability to defy odds and expectations. Mendy's skill set present Noakes with a test unlike any he’s faced before.

The decision by Queensberry Promotions to steer Noakes towards this European challenge, rather than defending his British title, speaks volumes about their belief in his potential and the trajectory they envision for him. A victory over Mendy would signal his readiness for the global stage, potentially setting up high-stakes encounters against the likes of Mark Chamberlain and other top contenders.
