The news of Hamilton’s opportunity to return to the top comes exactly 24 years to the day that his coach, Billy Murray, stunned the sport to defeat Richard 'The Animal' Hill for the ISKA world welterweight belt, at the Ulster Hall.

Hamilton will showdown against the current world champion Daniel Zarha of Malta on December 14, headlining a fight card that will show how Murray’s Prokick Gym has churned out fighters ready to challenge for major amateur and professional titles.
 
An excited Gary Hamilton said: “This is it for me, the big one. I lost my way for a while but over the past 12 months I have worked hard with the belief that this might happen again for me.
 
“There were times when I wanted to walk away from all the training and the commitment; it gets harder and harder as the years takes their toll. But I am with the most inspirational coach in the sport, and Billy Murray has made this happen again for me.
 
“The 2005 fight with Mohammad Samir was an amazing night. He was the best in the world at the time and although I was in front in that fight, his true class shone through when it mattered most. This time I feel ready; wiser and more prepared for this opportunity, and I intend to make the most of it.”
 
The return of the popular KICKmas show to the Ulster Hall, promoted by Prokick and Billy Murray, will include emerging talents such as Karl McBlain, who lifted the WKN European Thai-Boxing title in Italy this month.
McBlain is now a European amateur champion in three different disciplines, Full-Contact - kickboxing, K1-style kickboxing and Thai-Boxing.  The knock-out specialist won all his titles away from home - Cyprus, Scotland and last week in Sardinia. He is really looking forward to fighting in front of his home fans.
 
Billy Murray said: “Christmas has come early for the sport of kickboxing in Ireland. KICKmas has returned, and with it a world title shots for Gary Hamilton, Karl McBlain, Darren McMullan and Ursula Agnew. What more could any fight fan wish for this festive season? How about another four title fights - three of them European and a British title? Ulster Hall fight fans will also see a special fight attraction by MMA and kickboxing star Yoaan Kongolo.
 
“We will have a fight card that will have fans anticipating another great night of action at the Ulster Hall. I remember all my fights at the Ulster Hall especially my 1989 title win as if it was yesterday; I can still hear that crowd screaming, and I know 2013 will be just the same.”
