Professional career
He had his first professional fight in September 2000, when he beat Peter Buckley on points over four rounds at York Hall, Bethnal Green.
He won sixteen of his first seventeen fights, drawing the other, before losing on points to Danny Hunt in a fight for the English lightweight title. The fight was in November 2004.
In May 2006, Meager fought Dave Stewart for the vacant British lightweight title. The fight was at Bethnal Green, and Meager won when the fight was stopped in the sixth.
In December 2006, Meager defended his title against Jonathan Thaxton, at Dagenham. Thaxton won on a unanimous points decision after twelve rounds, to take Meager’s title.
Since losing his title, Meager has had a four-round win against Hungarian, Laszlo Komjathi, and has drawn against Mexican, Jose Alberto Gonzalez in Las Vegas.
Meager fought for the vacant British Lightweight title in July 2008 against John Murray, losing in the 5th round when the referee stopped the fight. After this fight Meager declared that he was retiring from the ring.
