Lee McGregor vs Ukashir Farooq

Post by Boxing Prospect »

Two talented Bantamweights in Scotland, is there any talk of them facing off?

Also is it just me or is McGregor the most under rated prospect in British boxing right now?

I think both guys have looked exceptional, seen a lot more of McGregor and he's coming along at a good pace, Ive got to say though I was well impressed with Farooq against Butcher, looks quality, I think a British/Commonwealth unification is one of the top 5 domestic match ups of the year

Scottish boxings booming at the minute, we've always had quantity but now we've got real quality and real world class prospects

It would be a belter of a scrap, but I'd be surprised is Farooq's management took the fight at this stage of his career....unless Cyclone can offer a purse they couldn't refuse.

I’ve had Lee come down and train and stay with me a couple times a while back with Lewis Paulin & Sean Spence, all great lads and good friends of mine, very talented fighters, nice to see the boys from north of the border are coming through in the droves now and with such quality, but got to say Lee is very very special, I won’t name names but he’s sparred a world champion who was much bigger with me and another quality unbeaten fighter off the GB team who had won so much as a amateur and been to the olympics and he handled them both and clearly come out on top especially with one of them, he’s a quality kid and a lovely lad to go with it, has are all the boys who come down to me, I can’t speak highly enough tbh

Would love this fight to happen ASAP. McGregor and Farooq are quality operators.
