Fightzone delivers a bonanza of Scottish boxing this week, with three fight cards from North of the Border on offer – and all the action can be watched LIVE and FREE.

On Thursday February 17 at 8pm we’ll be broadcasting some great action with a pre-recorded card from Renfrew. This show from February 4th – in conjunction with promoter Iain Wilson – is a five-fight bill and showcases some great young Scottish fighters including talented unbeaten-in-eight welterweight Callen McAulay, as well as the pro debut of Jake Limond – the son of former British, Commonwealth and European Champion, Willie Limond.

Our cameras then head to Turnberry on Friday February 18 for a LIVE card promoted by Fight Academy in association with Kynoch Boxing Promotions. Top of the bill is a ‘don’t blink’ contest featuring big-punching cruiserweight David Jamieson in his first title fight. The 30-year-old, who looks like he could be the next big thing on the British 14st 4lbs scene, faces Swedish champion Samo Jangirov for the IBO International belt over 10 rounds and is predicting an early finish! Also appearing on the card is Commonwealth Featherweight Champion, Nathaniel Collins.

It’s a return to the same venue on Saturday February 19, with another top night of boxing promoted by Kynoch Boxing Promotions. Headlining this show is top prospect, John Docherty who takes on Ghaniain Super Middleweight Champion Mawuli Folivi in what is sure to be an explosive dust up. The pair have 12 KOs between them from just 16 contests and the Scot has said he will finish the job within three rounds! Docherty was a top amateur, a Commonwealth Games medallist and manager Sam Kynoch believes he will be British Champion within just a few fights.

“We’re delighted to be supporting Scottish boxing,” said Chief Operating Officer, Asif Vali. “Boxing is booming North of the Border with the likes of Josh Taylor and Lee McGregor leading the way, but there’s so much talent up there that just doesn’t get the exposure it deserves.

“There are undoubtedly future champions on these three shows and it’s great that fight fans around the UK, and the world, will now get the chance to follow their journey to the top when previously they’ve been ignored by other broadcasters.

“The best thing is that all this action can be watched completely FREE on Fightzone. We have a packed schedule over the next few months with shows from Newcastle, London, Sheffield and Newark all locked in, and we’ll be showcasing some of Britain’s best talent including world champions Hannah Rankin and Jack Massey.

David Jamieson vs. Samo Jangirov

Trump Turnberry, Scotland – 18 February 2022

It’s often an overused cliché, but David Jamieson is promising Fightzone viewers fireworks when he fights for his first title on Friday February 18 at Trump Turnberry, Scotland, on a joint Fight Academy and Kynoch Boxing Promotions Card.

The exciting cruiserweight will face Swedish champion, Samo Jangirov, for the International Boxing Organisation (IBO) International Title with the East Kilbride man in confident mood ahead of the – on paper – 50/50 contest.

Big-punching Jamieson, 30, has lost just one in eight – to top prospect Mikael Lawal – and stopped five opponents since turning over in 2018. Never out of the gym, the big man understands completely the importance of entertainment in boxing and is ready to tear up the British cruiserweight division.

Jamgirov – originally from Azerbaijan – hasn’t been matched easy in his adopted homeland of Sweden. Winning the Swedish national crown in 2019, the 36-year-old has a similar record to Jamieson, having lost just twice in 10 outings and – also like his counterpart – fights on the front foot, which guarantees entertainment!

“I’ve watched a couple of videos of him, seen enough and know what I need to do,” explained Jamieson. “He’s got a similar record to me and I’m taking him as a dangerous opponent. I’ve got a wee game plan together though and it’s 10 threes [three minute rounds], so that’s half an hour and I’ll catch up with him at some point!

“He’s a heavy, well-built boy. He’s game, he’ll stand and trade and is happy to let his hands go, but that will play right into my hands. Guys that want to have it with me, that’s what I’m looking for. I’ll box him early doors, then when he starts to trade with me, that’s when I’ll let them go! If he’s willing to meet me in the centre of the ring then it’ll not last long … expect fireworks!”

Promoter and manager, Sam Kynoch, stated: “This is a 50-50 and Jamgirov is a very credible opponent. It’s a test and the type of fight that David wants, and he’s jumped at the opportunity. He’s had a great training camp though and is ready for this challenge, and his first title fight. They don’t pad records over there [in Sweden] so Jamgirov is a seasoned pro but if David wants to get to where he wants to be then this a fight he should win – so let’s see how he goes.”

The card will feature some of Scotland’s best young fighters including Commonwealth Featherweight Champ, Nathaniel Collins; the return of unbeaten 12-0 welterweight prospect, Michael McGurk; as well as another highly-rated Scottish fighter, Kieran Smith, who has lost just once in 17 fights. Also on are Irish-based Kate Radomska and Hamilton’s Jordan Grant.
