Mikie Tallon Stays Undefeated, Eyes British Title as Career Gathers Momentum

While many spend their early twenties on nightlife and nostalgia, 20-year-old flyweight prospect Mikie Tallon is already living the boxing dream—with a perfect 10-0 record, a recent win in Las Vegas, and an upcoming bout on one of the UK’s biggest cards of the year.

Tallon secured his tenth professional victory with a dominant six-round points win over tough American Christian Robles, marking his U.S. debut in boxing’s mecca. Despite a stressful lead-up involving last-minute visa issues, the Liverpool native delivered a composed and mature performance under the bright lights of Vegas.

“It was a bit mad, to be honest,” Tallon told Boxing News via Zoom. “You dream of fighting in Vegas, but you never think it’ll actually happen. I just took it all in and made the most of it.”

The momentum continues for Tallon as he prepares for his eleventh fight on November 15 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, part of the undercard for the much-anticipated Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn rematch.

“I’m made up to be on this card,” Tallon said. “People noticed my performance in Vegas, and now I’ve got another chance to show what I can do.”

Tallon also gave his prediction for the main event: “I think Eubank wins again. He’s the better boxer. Benn will give it a go, but I think Eubank’s too clever.”

Guided by Experience: Gallagher and Jonas Behind the Scenes

Tallon trains under respected coach Joe Gallagher, who has a track record of guiding fighters through their early careers. He’s also the first fighter to be managed by former two-weight world champion Natasha Jonas, who is now carving her path in boxing management.

“Joe’s old-school, and that’s exactly what I need,” said Tallon. “And Tasha believed in me from the start. Everything just fell into place.”

Jonas added: “We’re learning together, but Mikie is progressing the right way. The Vegas fight was a risk, but a necessary one. It paid off.”

Despite limited senior amateur experience, Tallon’s progression has been methodical. He hopes to stay active, aiming to fight once more before year’s end—ideally closing 2025 with a 12-0 record.

2026: Title Ambitions on the Horizon

Tallon turns 21 in January—making him eligible to compete for the British title. With his team’s support and continued growth, he’s targeting championship contention in 2026.

“I’m in a great place right now. Next year, I want to push for titles,” he said. “If I keep listening to the right people, I think I can go all the way to the top.”

With a solid foundation, strong mentorship, and early experience at the elite level, Mikie Tallon’s journey is only just beginning—but all signs point toward a bright future in the sport.
