4th March 2013
Looking forward to his
next show on March 8th at Ravenscraig Sports Facility,
Bellshill based promoter Paul Graham admits the logistics of his
biggest show to day has kept him busy in the weeks to build up “We
have twelve fights on the card, and to match the fighters so there in
competitive and meaningful fights has been tough. On a few occasions
I have agreed a fight, only for the fight to fall through down to
injury or something else. But this is boxing, so you do expect it but
I take it on the chin.
With twelve fights on
the March 8th card, which is called ‘The Steelmen Return’,
the headlining fight sees Stranraer’s Paul Allison take on Glasgow’s
Gary McCallum for the vacant Scottish Middleweight title. With each

“I am confident Gary can win this

hear he is training hard and has some good sparring and I can see him
making it a hard nights work for Paul Allison” said Chris Gilmour.

Unsurprisingly Prospect
Boxing owner Paul Graham, who promotes Paul Allison disagrees. “Paul
has had some time out since his last fight with Eubank Jnr. He tells
me he is feeling fresh and has had a ‘proper training camp’ as he
describes it. He is a good mover and has a good engine on him and
those two factors will be the difference in this fight.”

With a chief
supporting slot on the under card, twenty year old Iain Butcher, from
Jerviston returns in an six round fight in the Flyweight division,
but a bigger test could lie in wait for him reveals his promoter “We
have asked for Iain to be made mandatory for the British title at
Flyweight. We are looking to get him that fight within the year, and
are confident that we can make it.

With a 2-0 record,
Wishaw butcher Mark Parvin looks to extend his wins as he returns
with a six round fight in the welterweight division. “Mark is a
hungry fighter, he wants to keep busy. He has fought at Ravenscraig
as an amateur and I know he is looking forward to fighting there
again as a professional” Explains Paul Graham.

Also looking for his
third win, Wishaw based Light Middleweight Ryan Scott returns
overcoming an injury “Ryan’s first fight was in 2008, but didn’t
fight again till last year. Unfortunately he picked up an injury that
cost him a slot on our December show. At age 29 he cant wait around
so were looking for a strong performance from him.

In the Super
Featherweight division, Fauldhouse battler Sean Watson returns after a
disappointing draw in his last fight against Spanish fighter Ryan
Peleguer. Looking to go a step further and pick up the win, he is
expected to have a tough night against James Ancliffe “Sean was
frustrated after his last fight, he had a good camp and worked hard,
only for it to finish on a technical draw. But we cant dwell on that,
and James Ancliffe will be here to cause as many problems as he can.
He’s got a good jab on him and will look to upset the odds”
confessed Paul Graham.

After moving to
Prospect Boxing Last year Sanquhar’s Rhys Pagan has continued to show
his class to build up a respectable 4-0 record, and this time his
manager and promoter is expecting much of the same “Rhys confidence
is improving with every fight. He is showing that he is a good
fighter with a varying variety of punches and for a 19 year old he
really has a lot in his arsenal, in my stable I think he is one who
could go far if he continues his development.

Another fighter looking
to continue his development as a Professional, is Glasgow’s Jordan
McCorry who currently holds a 4-0 record. After a recent win over
Jason Nesbitt, his promoter Chris Gilmour thinks he McCorry has a
bright future “We had a late change of opponent which involved
Jason Nesbitt coming in at short notice, but that didn’t seem to
phase Jordan and he boxed brilliantly to a points win. If he can keep
in the gym and keep his head down he could certainly lift titles in
the future.

After a successful
debut in Paisley in October, Glasgow brawler Darren McAdam
expectations are high that he will impress again “For his first
fight, you don’t always expect them to pick up a KO, but he did a
good job on Damien Dinwiddy, who had only had one fight himself. As a
welterweight he seems quite heavy handed, which we hope develops into
a exciting style” said Chris Gilmour.

With a recent British
Masters title win under his belt, Cumbernaulds Mitch Prince
returns
to action, as 2013 looks like a year that could see him move on to
bigger things “Mitch has been in good form and this year we hope to
have him fighting more often. In his last win against Ideh Ockuko, he
put on a good performance and boxed well.

improved with each fight. Also recently announced as a late addition
