Sam Gilley is putting a difficult year behind him as he prepares to face Aston Brown in a middleweight bout in Glasgow. Following a draw with Gideon Onyenani and a narrow loss to Ishmael Davis in his bid for the British super-welterweight title, Gilley is eager to start anew. Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains confident in his abilities, stating, "I still think I won both fights...
It was a tight fight and Ish got the nod." He continues to aspire to win the Lonsdale belt, an achievement he has long desired. However, one fight he refuses to consider is a rematch against Louis Greene, citing Greene's past cancellations and the subsequent waste of his time. Gilley asserts, "I will fight anyone, but I will never give Louis Greene the time of day again... He wasted two years of my career." As he transitions to middleweight, Gilley is set to face Brown, a formidable opponent with a background in amateur boxing.
Gilley is determined to test Brown's mettle, saying, "I was built for the hard stuff in the pros. Let's see if he is." With his passion and drive still intact, Gilley is resolute in his pursuit of success in the boxing world.
