- Callum Makin won World and European bronze medals for GB Boxing at 75kg, earning World Championships bronze in Liverpool and European Championships bronze in Bulgaria.
- Callum Makin must leave 75kg after it was removed from Olympic weights, choosing between 70kg and 80kg—five kilos either way—for qualification next year.
- Callum Makin said he expects to bulk up and move to 80kg, build into the division with the right team, and give 100% rather than keep cutting weight while performing daily.
- Callum Makin was a two-time national champion at light-middleweight before his recent run at 75kg.
- Callum Makin is targeting the Los Angeles Games in 2028, with a busy end to 2026 preceding his main focus on qualification in 2027.
- Callum Makin wants to follow Liverpool’s champion tradition, become a world champion and one of the best in the world, and eventually bring a major fight to the city’s supportive crowds.
Why it matters: The immediate choice is Makin’s: 70kg or 80kg, a five-kilo move in either direction, before qualification in 2027. His preference for 80kg makes bulking and rebuilding his performance base the central task, keeping his Los Angeles 2028 target behind that earlier deadline.
