Lanarkshire boxers record 5-1 victory over English counterparts at Fight Club event

Lanarkshire boxers notched up a five to one win over their English counterparts during the popular Fight Club event.

Held last week at the Alona Hotel, Strathclyde Park, the fight night attracted hundreds of boxing fans from across the country keen to see boxer Aaron Caldwell defend his Celtic title, whilst pushing for the British title next April.

Gary Torbet also took to the ring to fight defeating his adversary for a novice title.

Organiser Francis Gilluley, of the Fighting Scots Gym in Bellshill and FSG Promotions, said: "Our latest Fight Club event was a huge success and we were delighted to see our boxers back in the ring and of course recording five out of six wins for Scotland - a great record.

"On behalf of FSG Promotions we would like to thank EBF Boxing, the contenders and of course the fans who once again came out in force to support a superb night in the ring."

Boxers and gym-goers at the Fighting Scots Gym are gearing up to support the Advertiser's Christmas Toy Appeal next weekend by taking part in a mammoth rowing challenge to raise much needed funds for underprivileged children across Lanarkshire.
