Two-time Commonwealth Games medallist Reece Mcfadden will return to the scene of some of his most famous amateur successes when he makes his professional boxing debut.

The 23-year-old from Bellshill is ready to burst into his pro career on the MTK Global card at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena on November 30, and intends to do so in style.

Mcfadden, who won a staggering 150 of 165 amateur bouts – including a victory over elite Welsh talent Andrew Selby – said: “This is a great stage on a great night.

“I’ve boxed in this arena before as an amateur, and the atmosphere and the support is amazing, so I can’t wait to be back in there for my professional debut.

“I won two of my senior elite Scottish titles in there, so it’s a happy hunting ground. I just can’t wait for the first bell to go, so I can get stuck right in.”

Mcfadden is part of the undercard on a stacked evening for MTK Global, with Tyrone Mckenna taking on Lewis Benson and Kieran Smith and Peter Mcdonagh colliding for the WBC Silver International super-welterweight title. David Brophy, Michael Mcgurk and Jack Turner are among the other boxers performing on the night.

Reece said: “This is another great night for Scottish boxing, which is on absolute fire at the moment, and is only going to go from strength to strength now. I’m glad to be a part of it.

The atmosphere on fight night is going to be electric. It’s going to be a massive night
