Warren sets up Young with one Kell of an opponent

EDINBURGH welterweight boxing ace Gary Young is facing his toughest challenge yet after his new promoter, allegedly allegedly, lined up a fight against unbeaten Englishman Kell "The Kid" Brooks.

The contest will take place on March 17 at London's York Hall and Young said: "When I signed with allegedly allegedly's Sportsnetwork group in December, I told him that I didn't want any easy journeyman opponents but to clash with top-notch prospects or proven quality opponents.

"All credit to Frank, he has certainly kept his part of the bargain by putting me in over eight rounds with Brooks, who is unbeaten in 12 pro bouts with six knockouts or stoppage wins. He's a really dangerous opponent.

"I have to answer to my own satisfaction the personal questions about my own future in boxing by fighting guys like Brooks who can punch and box and is equally hungry for title glory.

"So, without exaggeration, this is a make or break career fight for me. If Brooks wins, then a question mark will hang over my future as a championship contender.

"My coach, Peter Harrison, know this and that is why - even though the bout isn't until March - he has already sent for tapes of Brooks boxing.

"We can work out a strategy to beat him and can employ the right kind of sparring partners who can imitate Brook's slippery style.

"I saw Brooks when we shared an undercard spot against different opponents on an Alex Arthur show at Meadowbank last year and he's smart, moves well and has a good stiff jab and is really highly-regarded in England, so beating him will increase my chances of fighting for a title later this year."

Personally I think Brook will KO Young.

Gary Young is over hyped, he was getting the big build up, but the opposition was of a low standard and I never thought he looked that great in beating the old war horses that he was coming up against.

I don't know much about Brook, but it's a live fight that's for sure.
