Willie Limond looks to make waves as both promoter and Boxer

This Friday Glasgow boxer Willie limond makes his promoting debut, in Paisleys Lagoon Leisure centre. He starts his new career with a strong card featuring some of the best of Scottish boxing talent at different stages of there career.

The Headlining fight is the promoter himself; fighting a twelve rounder against Zambian national champion Godwin Mutampuka.The bout is for the current vacant WBU lightweight champion, but more importantly it is designed to give Limond a strong start to his 2009,and hopefully working towards a British title shot.

One of the main reasons He states he has started to do this is to keep himself more busy ,and maximise the opportunities for his fellow Scottish Boxers.

And he intends to start that promise with former British champion Kevin McIntyre, who is making his comeback after a freak first round loss to Kell Brook last year. They had hoped to field McIntyre in a title fight but after not being able to pit the postman with a suitable fighter they have arranged to match him with Isle of Wight’s Jay Morris. This bout is scheduled over 8 rounds.

Jason Hastie will also be looking to show off his skills he learnt while sparring last year with Manny Pacquiao .The Gilmerton fighter is looking to go one step better this time when he takes on Robin Deakin in a rematch .Having fought last year the fight swung in Hastie’s favour ,but Deakin protested he thought he had won the fight and in a bizarre twist even took his argument’s to the world of social network site Bebo.
