The Saintfield man received the news today that he was back on the bill and still in big title action after Jose Oliveira had withdrawn from their world title clash set for this Sunday on December 6th with an ankle injury.

Stuart said today “My training has never been going as well; I’ve been on the weight for weeks now.” He added, “Everything has been going really well for me and I was thinking that something would have went wrong and it did. But now I'm glad I'm just back on the fightcard, I really don't care who I fight, I just want to compete.”

Coach Billy Murray also expressed his disappointment and now the delight for his fighter, “I was so disappointed for Stuart that the rematch was off with Oliviera, but hey that is the fight game. But now I'm so pleased to say that after nearly 24 hours of phone calls and emails we finally got a match and Stuart will defend his European title for a second time which he took from German, Marcel Tratnik."

We have got a really interesting fight card lined-up so please try and get along and sample a great Sunday afternoon of Kick & Thai-Boxing....Billy Murray
