Boxing promoter bringing back Fight Night 2022 event to Lanarkshire

Bothwell boxing promoter Francis Gilluley is bringing his popular Fight Night series back to Lanarkshire this weekend.

The businessman, who owns the Fighting Scots Gym in Bellshill, will host Fight Club 2022 this Saturday, August 27, in aid of the St Andrew's Hospice.

Being held in conjunction with the Francis Gilluley Foundation and the European Boxing Federation Scotland, the evening will see an array of talented semi-professional and up and coming boxers take to the ring at the Alona Hotel, Strathclyde Park, Motherwell, from 7pm.

Organiser Francis told Lanarkshire Live: "As well as an evening packed full of entertainment, this event will showcase top quality, competitive semi professional and novice fights as well as some of our junior boxers highlighting their skills in exhibition fights.

"During this event we will be raising money for St Andrews Hospice which is a charity very close to our hearts having only recently lost a family member who received amazing care at this facility.

"All of their care and support is free and paid for mainly through the generosity of the public therefore, the charity money raised at our event will be used to provide comfort and compassionate care for people in our local community with a life-limiting illness, as well as providing support to their family."

During the event Francis and his wife Kerry will also auction a signed Tyson Fury glove with certificate of authenticity with all proceeds going to the Lanarkshire hospice.
