Andrew Selby

Andrew Selby (born 25 December 1988) is a Welsh professional boxer who held the British flyweight title from 2016 to 2019.

Hailing from Colcot, Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, Selby claimed a silver medal at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan, after he was pipped 13:12 by Misha Aloyan.

However, as Selby wasn't the only Brit in his weight division, he had to wait until later that year to seal Olympic qualification when he met Beijing Olympian Khalid Yafai at the 2011 GB Amateur Boxing Championships.

Selby won the fight 26:12, thus sealing a place as Great Britain's flyweight representative at the 2012 London Olympics.

His first contest of the tournament was a home tie against Daniele Limone of the Dolce & Gabbana Italia Thunder at Celtic Manor Resort, Newport, Wales.

Selby entered the games as gold medal favourite in the 52 kg Flyweight category, but lost his preliminary contest by a unanimous decision to 19-year-old Scottish boxer Reece McFadden.

Andrew Selby made his professional debut on 30 October 2015 against Tanzanian Haji Juma in Newport, Wales.

Selby won his second professional fight with a second-round stoppage of unbeaten Hungarian Jozsef Ajtai.

As the fight went on, Selby's better technique and sharper work allowed him to outbox Flores and win a unanimous decision (119-109, 117-111, 117-112).

[8] After a year-long layoff, Selbt returned to the ring with a dominant second round TKO win over Adam Yahaya.
