Vacant British Title Fight Ordered

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.

I Must be mistaken

Greene's out, Gilley now fighting Jack McGann

Yh just seen now

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."

He's a mate of Gilley, thats a few fights he's been at , he was at the Greene fight as well, pretty sure Sky spoke to him

First fighter, first losing record

Did the Comms just say...

"there's a lot of talent there ringside.., AND Campbell Hatton" ?!

Even among pointless undercard fights that was pointless.

Farrington looks a reasonable prospect, "can only beat what's in front of you", but, yeah pointless.

First time I've seen a dude go down with shot to the chest

Slightly less pointless, a fun watch at least.

Eliot "The Main Event" Elimasi - original at least. Got ambition.

Like the look of Elimasi, looks strong, talks well

Yeah easily the best prospect we've seen toinght.

Fletcher not got going at all, he's gonna come a cropper if he don't keep that left glove up

Where we up to

Tommy Fletcher levelling out Ruth.

I think it's 2-2 and I'm scoring homer biased.

If Volkovs was the home fighter that would be 7-1.
I think they could just about call a draw "not a robbery"

Never scored but Volkovs looks the winner, will be a draw

79-73 to the import !

Fletcher WTF ?!
I didn't think he was that good, but he was terrible. Aloys looks gutted !
