2008 Summer Olympics

Gavin was Great Britain's best hope of a boxing medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics, but was unable to make the weight and was therefore unable to compete.[4]

Professional career

In October 2008, Gavin announced that he would turn professional. He signed a contract with promoter Frank Warren and agreed to be trained by Anthony Farnell in Manchester. He made his debut with Olympians James Degale and Billy Joe Saunders which he won with a 4th round stoppage.[5]

In 2010, he won his first professional title by defeating Sheffield's Michael Kelly in the fifth round for the Irish light welterweight title. He qualified for the title as his parents are Irish.[6][7][8]

In June 2013, Gavin defeated the previously unbeaten Denton Vassell by 7th-round TKO, having broken Vassell's jaw. In doing so he retained his BBBofC British welterweight title and captured Vassell's Commonwealth title.[9]

He challenged IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook at The O2 Arena in London on 30 May 2015, losing by stoppage in the sixth round.[10][11]

He announced his retirement from professional boxing in May 2020.[12][13]

Bare-knuckle boxing

Gavin made his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship debut against Jack Dugdale on 28 June 2025 at BKFC 77. He was knocked out inside the first minute of the opening round.[14][15]
