“A MAN who chases two chickens will catch none”. If Charlie Doig proves to be as quick with his fists as he is with a turn of phrase then a long and successful boxing career may yet lie ahead of him.
The 25 year-old has aspirations to one day set up his own engineering maintenance company but having recently signed with the St Andrew’s Sporting Club after teaming up with Ricky Burns then that will all need to wait. Boxing has dealt him a fair hand and Doig wants to make the most of it.
Turning over after a successful amateur career, the Dundonian reckons he has the best part of a decade to achieve whatever he wants in the fight game. And he has landed on his feet on two counts, both with the St Andrew’s deal and by becoming the first professional to be taken under Burns’ wing.
