Sam Gilley Vows to Bounce Back in Middleweight Debut Against Aston Brown

Following a tumultuous year, Sam Gilley is shifting his focus to the middleweight division as he prepares to face Aston Brown in Glasgow. Gilley's previous year was marked by a draw against Gideon Onyenani and a unanimous decision loss to Ishmael Davis in his bid for the British super-welterweight title. Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains optimistic, attributing his losses to a 'rubbish year' that has taught him valuable lessons about his character and the sport. He still harbors ambitions of claiming the Lonsdale belt, an opportunity he hopes will arise again in the future. Gilley has also expressed his reluctance to engage in a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the souring of their relationship after two cancelled fights. Instead, he is looking forward to testing his mettle against Aston Brown, a formidable opponent with a background in international amateur boxing. Gilley is confident in his ability to withstand the challenges of the professional sport and is determined to make the most of his opportunity, driven by the passion and desire that have fueled his career thus far.
