Cornish Goes for 1st Title

Promoter Chris Gilmour today formally announced that Inverness Heavyweight Gary “The
Highlander” Cornish will challenge Paul Butlin from Melton Mowbray
for the Vacant International Masters Heavyweight Title. This Title was
recently vacated by former Olympic Gold Medallist Audley Harrison and will be
Cornish’s first Title fight. The contest will take place at the Ironworks
Inverness on Friday 5th July 2013.  


Chris says ” I have promoted a few of Garys contests and I am delighted to give him
this opportunity in front of his local support. I believe this is the first step
in Gary’s quest to become Scotlands first Heavyweight
Champion” 


Cornish, who is undefeated in 14 contests and is managed by Tommy Gilmour and trained by
Inverness based Liverpudlian Laurie Redfern, has stated “This is a great
reward for 2 years of hard work and it will be a chance to show people what
Improvements I have made since turning pro. I only had 9 Amateur contests but
have been kept busy as a Professional as well as having the experience of
sparring with some of the top guys like David Price & Derek Chisora. This
will be a difficult fight and he has a lot of experience so I will need to be at
my best on the night. This is the perfect contest at this point in my career
given the quality of the opponents that Butlin has boxed in his career. I aim to
be the Champion on Friday 5th July.” 


Tickets go on sale on Friday 23rd of May from the Ironworks Inverness.
