    Willie Limond on Friday night was crowned the ‘WBU’ world champion after a points victory over current English champion Ryan Barrett .The fight ended with unanimous decision for Limond over his English rival.

    Having started quite strong in the fight Limond continued to dominate the fight and boxed strongly through the 12 scheduled rounds to take the vacant title.

    The fight now sees a possibility of a first defence at Firhill stadium, were Limond’s football team Partick Thistle play. The other option available to him is a potential all Scottish clash with Aberdeen’s Lee McAllister, should he come through his commonwealth title shot…

    On the undercard a stable mate of the Limond made his debut.Exoctic sounding Santino Caruana made his professional debut. The lightweight had to put up with a pit fall of the professional game with his opponent pulling out at the eleventh hour, and was replaced by Fettercairn journeyman James Ancliffe.Caruana went on to score a points victory.

    Rated highly by his trainer Billy Nelson, he is next getting an outing on the undercard of Ricky Burns v Kevin O’Hara on June 19th were he fights a four rounder. Also on the Bellahouston undercard is Kris Hughes, Gary McMillan and Craig Windsor.

    Notably Edinburgh’s Alex Arthur is making his lightweight debut with an eight rounder against Algerian Mohamed Benbiou.The bout is designed to get his career back on the straight and narrow and hopefully lead to a shot at an international/intercontinental title bout on the upcoming Kevin Mitchell world title bout.

    And lastly the Prize fighter stars Gary McArthur and Ryan Brawley are in action in a show on June 12th at the play dome in Clydebank. The card also includes rising star Davie Savage and Richard Barclay.
