Profile

The story

Cutler made his professional debut on 15 September 2018, stopping his opponent in the first round at O2 Academy Bournemouth. After an early defeat in 2021, he won his first professional title on 5 March 2022 by stopping Scott James. On 10 December 2023, he became English super-middleweight champion after unanimously defeating Kingsley Egbunike on points. He later relinquished the title without defending it due to injuries. Cutler worked for years as a sparring partner for, among others, Conor Benn and Chris Eubank, and joined McGuigan’s Gym in London in 2023, where he trains under Josh Pritchard. On 14 December 2024, he scored his breakthrough victory by defeating undefeated WBC International Silver champion Stephen McKenna by majority decision. After a technical decision against Sam Eggington in April 2025, Cutler returned in June 2026 with a technical knockout victory over Aaron Sutton. Alongside his own boxing career, he is co-owner of The Revolution in Ringwood, where Hyrox training and boxing coaching are offered.
