Khaleel Majid (16-0) is one of British boxing’s rising prospects at 140 lb. The Englishman born in 1997 has built his unbeaten record methodically, including a points win over David Ryan in November 2025 and a solid UD over Alex Murphy in April 2025 — both signs of a fighter growing into the professional game and winning at a higher level. Sixteen fights, zero losses, and now the biggest night of his career.
At 28, Majid is entering his prime years. This fight against Gwynne is the significant step-up he needs to validate his credentials — and with the Wardley vs Dubois crowd watching, there’s no better stage to announce himself.
Gavin Gwynne (18-4-2) is the kind of opponent who sorts the genuine contenders from the paper records. The 35-year-old Welshman has been through 173 professional rounds, fought for major titles, beaten solid competition, and drawn twice with Cameron Vuong in late 2024-25 — close, competitive fights that speak to his consistency. His RTD8 win over Marsili in December 2023 showed he can still finish opponents.
Gwynne brings 173 rounds of professional experience against Majid’s more modest total. He won’t be overawed, he won’t be stopped easily, and he knows exactly how to make a fight difficult for an unbeaten prospect trying to make his name.

Majid’s perfect record will be tested in a way it hasn’t been before. Gwynne is experienced, durable, and calculated — he doesn’t make many mistakes. His two Vuong fights showed a man who goes the full 10 rounds without wilting, keeps his output consistent, and makes it hard for opponents to build momentum.
For Majid, this is a chance to prove he belongs at a higher level. He needs to be more than technically proficient — he needs to impose himself, find the finish or dominate convincingly, and silence any questions about whether his 16-0 reflects genuine quality or carefully managed opposition.
Khaleel Majid wins if:
Gavin Gwynne wins if:
Majid’s youth, hunger, and the fact he’s fighting in front of his biggest crowd yet should carry him through. Gwynne is nobody’s easy night, but the form and age gap favour the unbeaten man.
Our prediction: Khaleel Majid by UD. Majid boxes smartly, uses his jab to control distance, and accumulates enough rounds to earn a clear unanimous decision. Gwynne makes it uncomfortable for spells, but Majid’s the stronger, fresher fighter across 10 rounds. The 16-0 stays intact.
