Lerrone “Sniper The Boss” Richards vs Dylan Courtney: high-stakes clash at York Hall (September 26, 2025)
On September 26, 2025, London will host a boxing night that blends tradition and comeback narratives. At the legendary York Hall in Bethnal Green, Lerrone “Sniper The Boss” Richards faces Dylan Courtney in the main event of Avenge at York Hall. The card is promoted by Neilson Boxing and TM14 Promotions and marks Richards’ return to the spotlight after a spell of inactivity.
The Fighters
Lerrone Richards is a well-known figure on the British circuit: a former British, European, and IBO champion. Having built his reputation at super middleweight, he now moves into the light-heavyweight division. Despite recent setbacks, his technical pedigree and experience still make him a dangerous name with ambitions for redemption.
Dylan Courtney, with a pro record of 2-22-2, comes from Cornwall. His career has been far from linear, yet stepping into the ring against a seasoned opponent like Richards represents a valuable opportunity. For Courtney, this fight is about proving resilience, gaining respect, and perhaps opening doors to more visibility.
Avenge at York Hall: the event
Avenge at York Hall is not just a fight but part of a double-show weekend promoted by Neilson Boxing and TM14 Promotions, with live streaming available on Boxing News’ YouTube channel. Richards headlines the Friday night, adding weight to a venue steeped in British boxing history and atmosphere.
This comeback comes after a challenging 2024 where Richards suffered defeat against Steed Woodall. Now he seeks to reassert himself in front of a home audience. The promotion clearly views this fight as a vehicle to relaunch Richards’ name while feeding the passionate British boxing crowd that values local heroes.
Key Factors: style, size, and tactical outlook
One of the most interesting dynamics is how physical dimensions will affect performance. Richards, historically a super middleweight, will need to adapt speed and endurance to the heavier division. Tapology lists his latest weight at 181 lbs, while Courtney appears heavier at 192.3 lbs. This size difference could shape the exchanges but may also test stamina.
Tactically, Richards is favored: he is likely to impose his jab, control range, and set the pace, gradually building dominance in the middle rounds. Courtney, meanwhile, must break rhythm, close distance, and drag the fight into scrappy exchanges where surprises can happen. It’s a long shot, but shocks do occur in boxing.
Beyond the ring, Richards benefits from name recognition, promotion, and fan backing. Courtney will have little margin for error but stands to gain respect if he performs well, regardless of the outcome.
