Only the ninth ever Scottish Heavyweight Title bout. We need to watch this one, they come around as regular as Halley's Comet.

Shame Gary Cornish is no longer able to box. The man who totally outclassed AJ for nearly a whole minute would surely rule over the Scots for as long as he wanted

To be fair Cornish went 12 rounds against Sam Sexton for the British title after the Joshua fight , he wasn't a bad fighter anyone could get blown out in the first round with that version of Joshua

Lol and what a fantastic advert for women's boxing she is, this is one of the best fights we've seen in boxing this year, male or female, and female boxing is on the rise globally and Ebonie Jones can be a global superstar and transcend boxing! You could say she's the Muhammad Ali of women's boxing!

All absolutely fair. Cornish was big, strong and decent at domestic level, he just couldn't take Joshua's power. A little bit Savarese v Tyson.

Anyone got qn opinion on who wins?

I think Jay has a good chance, it will be interesting to see how Campbell looks after a few rounds, as he hasn't been anywhere near a ten round distance yet.

MacFarlane isn't the biggest hw (he was on about fighting at CW a few years ago) but seems tough and compared to Campbell has lots of experience.

I've talked (typed?) myself into picking MacFarlane.

Nice. Thanks for that. I saw Cmpbell fight but can't remember being impressed although he seems very likeable. MacFarlane seems a little nuts

Edit: MacFarlane seems to have weighed in 260s-270s last few fights!

[magnus]

Yeah, similar. I think Campbell struck me as a big, sporty bloke, who's maybe not the most natural fighter in the world.

Jay has made cruiser once, becoming the first ever Scottish champion at the weight.

Anyone want it make a prediction? Any Scottish heavyweight fans here? I found 10-1 on Jay which I thought was a bit long?
