The evergreen South Belfast man – who has held the WKN featherweight crown for seven years – will join the ‘Big Fight Night’ bill on May 31st at the Shorts Recreation Centre in Belfast.

“The move from kickboxing to boxing is difficult. Gary is king in his kickboxing division and if he can harness that focus and punching power he has, he’ll be ready. He has a bright future in boxing.” Said Gary Fullerton, a close friend of Hamilton.

"I can see where everyone is coming from, unfortunately I did pay the £30 ticket and I did say as a joke, a pound a ticket and even then I’d expect some change but I would pay £100 to watch our Gary fight."

All joking aside the Prokick team wish him all the best.
