Scottish Boxing update

Over the weekend former Scottish commonwealth gold medallist Craig McEwan extended his record to 14-0, with a first round KO over the Experienced Alexis Division. The bout was on the undercard Williams/Wright at the Mandalay Bay.

The bout came after weeks of sparring between McEwan and Winky Wright. McEwan, who also was used as a sparring partner for Bernard Hopkins in the run up to his fight with Joe Calzaghe, may find himself as a late addition to the undercard of Pacquiao/Hatton.


Current Super Featherweight champion Ricky Burns will be back in the ring on June 19th .I understand the opponent being lined up is Salford’s Steven Foster Jnr.No stranger to Scotland ,Foster Jnr was last seen pushing Alex Arthur in his defence of his WBO interim title in December 2007.


The winner of the bout could possibly face London’s Kevin Mitchell who is fighting for the WBO belt in July, should he come through that defence.
