Dundees michael towell is the latest promising boxer from our city to turn pro,hopefully he should be having his first pro fight by the end of january,start of feb,mikes a welterweight,and is an agressive,big hooking,all action fighter,its not easy trying to get sparring partners,but hopefully we will be down in stirling over the next few weeks,if theres anyone out there who wants to get some sparring with mike,we can travel,or anyone would be welcome to come to dundee and spar with him at our club,day or night its not a problem,hope some of you can help,thanks john

All the best to the lad. Have you got a nickname for him yet? With the surname Towell I bet he's heard them all before.

iron mike,a right original one haha,tysons his hero as well,hes a strong laddie and a big puncher,but really needs a lot of hard sparring,hes definetly got the tools,just needs to get some experience sparring with the pros

What weight is he ?

hes about 70 kg just now mate,but will be fighting at welterweight

Get in touch with Gary McCallum on FB, he trains at Lochend at Edinburgh a few Welters plus John thain ,so you could get some good sparring there.

Sounds good mate

david brophy hopefully gonna be doing a few rounds with michael this friday,should be another great bit of learning for him,ronnie the shark also sparring with ricky burns at our club this friday,just shows how well regarded ronnie is(and quite rightly so),that the best boxer scotland has produced in years has asked and has been sparring with all week,with one of scotlands top prospects,who in my opinion is gonna be,with a bit of luck,a future champion
