Andrew Cain (born 3 August 1996) is an English professional boxer who has held the Commonwealth bantamweight title since July 2024. He is also a former British bantamweight champion.
A professional since 2015, Cain signed a promotional contract with Frank Warren's Queensbury Promotions in 2020.[3]
Unbeaten in his first eight fights, he stopped Pablo Ariel Gomez just 19 seconds into the first round of their contest at the International Centre in Telford on 16 April 2022, to claim the vacant WBC Silver super-bantamweight title.[4]
Cain successfully defended his title with another first round stoppage win over Luis Moreno at York Hall in London on 20 May 2022.[5]
His next defense was against Ionut Baluta at the International Centre in Telford on 25 March 2023. Cain lost the bout by split decision.[6]
Having taken 13 months away from boxing to recover from a hand injury,[7] he returned to the ring with a fourth-round knockout of Darwing Martinez at York Hall on 20 April 2024.[8]
Cain challenged British and Commonwealth bantamweight champion Ashley Lane at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham on 20 July 2024. The fight was halted in the fifth round after he knocked his opponent to the canvas twice.[9][10]
In his next outing, he stopped Lazaro Casseres in the second of their scheduled 10 rounds at Liverpool Arena on 5 October 2024, to win the vacant WBC International Silver bantamweight title.[11]
Cain returned to Liverpool Arena to defend his British and Commonwealth titles against Charlie Edwards on 15 March 2025, with the vacant WBC Silver bantamweight championship also on the line.[12] He won by split decision with two of the ringside judges scoring the fight 116–112 and 115–114 respectively in his favour while the third had it 115–113 for his opponent.[13][14]
Once again at Liverpool Arena, Cain faced Alejandro Jair Gonzalez on 7 February 2026.[15] The fight was a final eliminator for a shot at the WBC bantamweight title.[16] Recovering from being sent to the canvas twice in the eighth round, Cain scored two knockdowns of his own in round nine, with the referee stopping the bout following the second to give him the win by technical knockout.[17][18]
