Rutherglen boxing coach Archie Durie expects all nine of his fighters to do well in the Scottish Novice Championships next week, or he wouldn’t be putting them forward.
Durie says he’s not a coach that will put young fighters through to a major competition just for the experience.
However, he does concede that the tournament at Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility in Motherwell will be the biggest ever at that level, with nearly 800 fighters expected to take part.
