After his surprise defeat to Ulsterman Martin Lindsay, Paul Appleby is taking a well deserved break. I understand once he came back from the defeat he spent a few days in Cyprus training. No firm date has been agreed for his come back however I understand that September is the preferred time for a comeback fight.
Meanwhile former opponent John Simpson is due to defend his commonwealth belt against Steve Bell on the undercard of Kotelnik v Khan, at the o2 arena in June 27th.This will be the first defence of the belt he won form Paul Truscott .
Lee McAllister confirmed today he is fighting in Aberdeen’s, Beach Ballroom on the 19th of June for the vacant Commonwealth title. The belt will be contested by McAllister and Ghana’s national champion Godfred Sowah for the belt vacated by Khan. It’s worth noting as well this fight will clash with the Burns/Foster jnr fight, which is scheduled to be fought at the Bellahouston leisure centre.
This Friday night sees Edinburgh fighter Craig McEwan making his first scheduled fight over 10 rounds, when he fights former Andy Lee conquer Brian Vera. The fight will be covered by ESPN’s popular Friday night fights, and syndicated nationwide in the states.
This is a high profile fight for McEwan and a victory will certainly help improve his title chances with a possible NABO title shot on the horizons.
