Being out of the ring for just over 2 years ,Edinburgh welterweight Gary Young (17-1) is looking to bring himself back into the boxing wilderness with a Scottish title shot against fellow Edinburgh resident Gary McMillan (9-1).
McMillan,who trains at the Lochend gym in Edinburgh,is currently in LA training at the famous Wild Card gym and is a regular sparring partner of Alex Arthur. The only loss on his record was actually on his début were he lost on points to Scott Woolford. Since then he has been on a nine fight winning streak winning most fights on points and just one knock out.
Not really a cross road fight as neither of the fighters are veterans,but I am sure Young will be looking at the fight as stepping stone to better things and help him continue his winning ways he had become accustomed to. I understand in the run up to this fight the will be using the services of Aberdeen Commonwealth champion Lee McAllister.
With both fighters being not only form Edinburgh but from the south of the city,this will add another dimension to a fight that could certainly take either fighters reputation to a higher level in the city.
Both fighters will contest the vacant title on a card promoted by veteran promoter Alex Morrison. A venue is still to be dictated but I am confident they could hold a fight of this significant in Edinburgh.
The untelevised bout will take place on November 28th,and ticket details will be announced soon .
