    Willie Limond to get chance to fight at Madison Square Garden

    This content is protected

    WILLIE LIMOND'S Madison Square Garden dream is alive again.
    It now seems certain that the Glaswegian will face Dmitriy Salita at boxing's Mecca on the Joe Calzaghe-Roy Jones Jnr undercard on November 8.

    Limond, 29, agreed to box the popular New York Jew on the big bill but their fight was scrapped when Salita got the nod to challenge WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik instead.

    However, Kotelnik is injured and the ex-Commonwealth lightweight champion has been approached again by Calzaghe and Jones who are promoting the show.

    Limond is understood to be close to taking the Big Apple non-title 10-rounder despite whispers of a rematch with Amir Khan, who beat the Scot last year.

    nice one willie boy, we're right behind you again :bbb :good

    Hey Wullie!

    My pal who uploaded the salita documentary also has a documentary about your good self that was aired on STV a good few years back. It showed footage of your fight with Gary Reid etc.

    Im sure you will know the one im talking about.

    If you want me to ask him to put it on Youtube for you I will, & Im sure he will be happy to do it for you, as hes a big fan:good

    Does it look likely that your fight with Salita is back on for Nov 8?

    how will the re-announcement of you're big coming out party at MSG effect you're preparation?
