Exciting Ellesmere Port star Paul Butler will look to add the WBO International Super-Flyweight Championship to his British and Commonwealth belts, when he takes on tough Frenchman Thomas Masson for the vacant title at the Olympia in Liverpool on June 28.
Butler, 24, is coming off a win over African Yaqub Kareem to take the commonwealth title in April and after the fight with Masson, Butler is also lined up for a next fight at Wembley Arena on July 20, and is keeping himself busy while he looks to push on for a world title shot.
Butler (11-0, 6KO’s) is not so sure if he will be holding onto his British title for much longer and feels if he stays around at domestic level to try and win the Lonsdale belt outright, he may miss his chance of pushing on to world level. There is also a possibility his July 20 fight in London could be for the IBF International title, which would see Butler gaining a top 10 world ranking.
