Gary Noade is not turning pro just yet, but it will still happen
says the Downpatrick two time World champion. The Downpatrick prokick
fighter has been offered another world title fight and it takes
place this Saturday in Glasgow. The silver headed dynamo has been
offered the chance to make the hat trick of world title belts and
who would blame him not to turn to the paid ranks just jet.
His coach Billy Murray received a call from promoter Gary Langford
at the beginning of the week to confirm if Noade had already applied
for his pro license, but despite having done a medical and his MRI,
he has not yet forwarded his application WKN head office in France.
Noade says, “I’m fighting fit and ready to go and face
Aberdeen’s Douglas Morrison this is a fight I always wanted
to get on, I’ll knock him out within four round.” said
the current kickboxing world champion. The most important thing
for Noade is that the fight is for the Full-Contact welterweight
title, the title he first set his sights on as an amateur and only
now is getting the chance to prove himself as the true champion
of the amateur welterweights.
Gary was hoping to make his pro debut against the former super welterweight
champion Stuart McOwan, but sources closer to the former Scottish
world champ say he is not taking any fights at the moment as he
considers retirement. McOwan is still ranked in the top twenty of
his division and Noade would like very much to square up to him
at a later date.
Boyd’s battle of Britain - Saintfield’s Brian Boyd is
also in Glasgow this week for his attempt to add the British super
welterweight title to his collection. The current Irish champion
will take on defending Champion Steve Kitchner of Scotland. The
Dundela football club’s left winger Boyd has had the pleasure
of seeing Kitchner compete in three fights and winning on all three
occasions, so Boyd knows he will be no push over, especially on
his home turf.
Meanwhile
team mate James Gillen is back in action for the first time since
he won the Irish super heavyweight title in October last year, he
faces Derek Lane of Inverness.
