Kris Hughes returns on Dec 7th against Dougie Curran

As 2012 draws to an end Bellshill boxer Kris “Badger” Hughes hopes to return winning ways and score his first victory of the year when he returns on Dec 7th Rivals Gym, Wishaw. After losing to Carl Frampton in a challenge for the Commonwealth Super Bantamweight in February ,the 24 year old returned in September against Ghanian Richard Commey and had to retire in round 4 with a broken hand.

Despite the loss, Hughes took a lot of positives “The fight with Commey started good then ended bad. I had me winning the first two rounds and then losing the next two rounds. I then broke my left hand during the fight and had to pull out with the injury. I don’t like the fact it was on stool, however if you break your hand there not much you can do”

With the Dec 7th show, fast approaching Hughes is scheduled to take on Newcastle based Dougie “The Bullet” Curran over 6 rounds. The Geordie fighter comes into the fight with an impressive knockout win against Paisley's Stephen Russell last month and Hughes knows what to expect “I seen that Curran won by stoppage in his last fight and he will be looking to do the same again. If you look at his record he has a good record against Scottish fighters and he will be well up for it. From what I have seen of him he's good at coming forward to fight and is better than his record may suggest”

After seeing his fighter on the receiving end of two consecutive losses, Manager Paul Graham explains that they are going back to basics but still has faith “Kris is a talented fighter, you can see from the way he operates in the ring, and from the way he trains. He has been unlucky with his last loss, and now his hand has healed he is itching to get out there. He is now trained by his dad again, and there working on all sorts and he’s really pushing Kris”


Kris Hughes joins a seven fight card also features Billy Campbell,Rhys Pagan,Mark Parvin,James Tennyson and Sean Watson.

Headlined by Iain Butcher who takes on Chris Smith for the vacant British Masters Flyweight title .Taking place at Rivals Gym,Wishaw on December 7th and Tickets are priced £30 and available by calling 01698 338 888.

I would like to see Kris down at feather or even super feather lightweight is too much for him in my opinion. Curran is a dangerous fighter always comes to fight and is a game lad. Hope Kris gets back to winning ways
