Scottish Boxing Update!

In the midsts of a quiet period of domestic boxing it comes as no great surprise there is not much to write about !

Starting the new season sees John Simpson make his defence of his commonwealth title on Friday week. The Sky sports covered fight is at the Eston Sports academy in Middlesbrough,and is a rescheduled fight after bizarrely being rained off the last time.

With this being a rematch expect both fighters to fight more cautiously,however I am hearing that Simpson is hitting the hardest he ever has in training.

Continuing his way back into world title contention Alex Arthur looks to march on in his next fight. Being confirmed as the main support fight on the Rogan/Sexton rematch he should be fighting a ten rounder against a credible opponent ,this is in Belfast on October 9th.

Also making a surprising addition to the card is Ricky Burns .As I understand Burns is scheduled to fight an eight rounder ,however no opponent has been finalised yet ,I would imagen this fight would be looked upon to keep him busy ahead of a possible defence of his commonwealth belt come December.

Also I expect to be announced soon an evening with a true legend of the sport, in Celtic park on Saturday October 10th .Details should be released soon however,i can assure you it is a night not to miss!
