Tom Breese Embraces Dual Division Spotlight

At thirty-three years old Tom Breese carries the weight of a nineteen-victory six-defeat zero-draw professional record into every training session at his Birmingham gym. Standing six foot three he has carved out a presence in both the middleweight and light heavyweight classes, a versatility reflected in his simultaneous rankings across Europe and western Europe. Breese’s ledger reads as a portrait of resilience — enough regional bouts in each division to earn him top-thirty recognition without the flash of a meteoric rise. Breese currently sits at number twenty-six in the European MMA rankings, a spot he clinched by battling at least twice in Europe or western Europe over his last six fights. His willingness to oscillate between weight classes is more than a footnote: it underpins his regional standings. In his past two outings alone he has tested himself at both sixteen-stone limits and the upper echelon of the light heavyweight bracket, satisfying the criteria for dual-division placement. He is not the product of a neatly packaged origin story. Instead Breese’s arc is a series of calculated steps across the card, each contest a proof point in gyms scattered from Birmingham to other European fight hubs. It is this steady accumulation of bouts and body of work that has earned him a seat among Europe’s top thirty, a ranking built on action rather than hype.
