Professional career

Heffron made his professional debut on 4 September 2010, scoring a second-round knockout (KO) victory against Torsten Roos at the Bekkerveld Festival in Heerlen, Netherlands.^[4]

After compiling a record of 19–0 (15 KOs), he defeated Andrew Robinson via sixth-round technical knockout (TKO) on 9 June 2018 at the Manchester Arena, capturing the vacant WBC International middleweight title. The bout served as part of the undercard for Tyson Fury's comeback fight against Sefer Seferi.^[5]

Following a fourth-round TKO victory against Aryee Ayittey in October,^[6] Heffron returned to the Manchester Arena to face former British super-welterweight champion Liam Williams for the vacant British middleweight title on 22 December, serving as part of the undercard for Josh Warrington's world title defence against Carl Frampton.^[7] After nine rounds of action Heffron was well behind on the scorecards. In the tenth, he was caught with a punch which prompted Williams to launch a sustained attack and force referee Howard Foster to issue a standing eight count. The fight resumed, only to be stopped moments later after Heffron was again on the receiving end of a barrage of punches, prompting Foster to call a halt to the contest to hand Heffron the first defeat of his career via tenth-round TKO.^[8]

He was defeated by Jack Cullen on Sep 2nd 2023 on the Eubank-Smith2 undercard.
