Commonwealth junior middleweight titleholder Sam Gilley (17-1, 8 KOs), who recently announced that he had signed a promotional deal with Queensberry, will take on old rival Louis Greene (17-4, 11 KOs) for the vacant British title at 154 pounds. The two went to war last October, and although Gilley hasn’t been able to capitalize on the exciting win, he will be looking to make up for lost time when he and Greene renew hostilities on Oct. 18.

Promoter Frank W wrote: "We've got a potential small hall classic on the cards this Friday when we are back at York Hall [in London's Bethnall Green] with a Commonwealth title fight between our recent signing Sam Gilley and Jack McGann. Originally it was supposed to be Sam fighting for the British title at junior middleweight against Louis Greene. Unfortunately Louis was forced out of the fight due to illness, but this provides an opening for Jack to put himself back in the title picture." [Gilley, the reigning Commonwealth champion, is 17-1 with 8 KOs while McGann is 10-1-1 with 7 KOs].
Warren continued: "Sam was initially supposed to be fighting Jack for the British title a while back, but then Jack was clubbed by Louis over in Riyadh and Louis took his position as mandatory challenger for the belt. So Jack now has the opportunity to muddy the waters even more and I just have the feeling we are in for something special. On the card we’ve got a Southern Area heavyweight title fight between the undefeated Courtney Bennett – who is just five fights in as a pro – and Nick Webb, who has fought at a good level. We’ve also got our exciting young cruiserweight Tommy Fletcher back in action after a spell out with tonsillitis and a good test for our blue chip super featherweight talent Royston Barney-Smith. Catch the action from York Hall on Friday from 7pm on TNT Sports."
