Coatbridge boxer Mark McKeown can’t think of a better scenario for his first title win than beating a rival in his own backyard – and intends to do just that later this month.
The 28-year-old takes on Port Talbot’s Joshua John for the vacant British Boxing Board of Control Celtic featherweight title at the LC Swansea on Saturday, May 28, which will be screened live on BBC Wales.
McKeown will take a loyal band of supporters down to Wales from the North Lanarkshire town, but says it’s a bonus that it will be televised, for those who can’t be there in person.
