Punching power

A boxer, who was out the ring for 17 months with an eye injury, has returned with a Scottish title.

Rhys Pagan lifted the Scottish super middleweight title after a gruelling 10 round fight that went the full distance.

Rhys, 23, has been a member of Doon Valley Boxing Club since he was 11. He beat Brian Forsyth ( Edinburgh) for his first professional title. That followed the International Masters and British Masters he won at light middleweight level two years ago.

Rhys, from Sanquar, is pictured with coach Sam Mullen.
