Scottish Heavyweight Ian Millarvie returning to the ring in December after a 3 year lay-off. Hopefully this is more good news for Scottish Boxing which is gaining a bit of momentum off the back of Ricky Burns world title win. If he stays fit i think he has the chance to at least fight for domestic honors if not further as he had quite a bit of potential before he retired and was just very unlucky with injuries.
Whats prompted his comeback? From what I recall he was yet another fighter whos career stalled after falling out with Gilmour, there is a long list of Scottish fighters in that category.
Yea he did go to the states and had one fight. It was supposed to be quite a few fights in the US but he had lots of injuries. The comeback was apparently prompted by him meeting the promoter Paul Graham at Archies Mckays (Barry Morrisons Coach).
The mere mention of Ian Millarvies name nowadays makes me break out in one giant yawn... Dont waste your time bothering about this guy folks. I used to... there endith the lesson.
three years out at his level and age is too long. i don't think he'll set the world on fire now, might not even strike a match.
