I’m off to the St Andrews Sporting Club in Glasgow tonight to report on professional boxing where the Guest of Honour will be Amateur Boxing Scotland Chairman Richard Thomas.
Reflecting over the past week, the Scotland Amateur team were in Serbia fighting in a Multi-Nations Tournament and met stiff opposition, all the boys did their country proud; however, Lewis Benson 64kg was competing in his first International tournament and is returning with a Silver medal which was a fantastic achievement for this young man who’s going from strength to strength.
On the professional scene it was great to see stylish Edinburgh Light-Middleweight John Thain extend his unbeaten run to 10-0 at Wembley against southpaw Middlesex man Ryan Toms. On the same bill former World Champion Scott Harrison showed flashes of his former self and put up a bold display against crafty Cromer southpaw switch-hitter Liam Walsh but eventually lost out on points.
I've done two very interesting interviews this week with boxers past and present that I will be turning into stories, Buchanan style.
