McAllister is the Lightweight Commonwealth champion and hasn't fought for over a year. His comeback fight is against Istvan Nagy at Light Welterweight for the IBO International title.

There are a lot of good British Lightweights that he could defend against: Mitchell, Rees, Crolla, Arthur, Limond, Buckland et cetera.

I hope he defends against one of those fighters soon, as I have no interest in him defending against unknown Africans.

He needs to step up the competition! Arthur would sell easily in Scotland and be a good fight for both men at this stage, maybe Gavin Rees as well.

speaking of limmond whats goin on with him? he would be a solid test for any of these guys at his weight aswell,

McAllister is a massive ticket seller in Aberdeen isn't he so i reckon his team realised he's found his level after the Murray fight and want to cash in on this title for as long as possible.

Lee McAllister was stopped in eight rounds by unbeaten John Murray in a crack at the British lightweight title in January 2009, since when Joe Jordan has been busier than the slippery Scot, out for over a year with an elbow injury. The 28-year-old McAllister, a ticket-seller from the granite city of Aberdeen, finally returns against Hungarian trier Istvan Nagy on Saturday night in Aberdeen, bizarrely scheduled for 12 rounds.
Frankly, this is just a warm-up for McAllister, 31-2 (7), as he checks out his left elbow before concentrating on defences of his Commonwealth lightweight title against the potential likes of Alex Arthur, Willie Limond, Derry Matthews or even hot Cardiff puncher Gary Buckland, who stopped Nagy in the first round in November 2009 in Stoke (down twice).
Nagy, 29, regularly tours the European fight circuit and lasted five rounds with young Scot Paul Appleby in Motherwell in 2007, so he knows what he is up against. In fairness, the gutsy visitor rarely gets stopped and he carries a bit of a dig at 15-8 (8), but McAllister is big, quick and talented enough to halt Nagy from the middle rounds.

How he's a ticket seller is beyond me. In the three fights or so that I've watched him in, he absolutely stunk the place out.

There is not much to do in Aberdeen but look at oil refineries and think fondly of Local Hero.
