Gilley Vows to Bounce Back at Middleweight, Rules Out Greene Rematch

Following a tumultuous year, Sam Gilley is shifting his focus to the middleweight division as he prepares to face Aston Brown in Glasgow. The former Commonwealth champion reflects on his past performances, including a draw with Gideon Onyenani and a close loss to Ishmael Davis for the British super-welterweight title. Gilley remains optimistic about his abilities, stating, 'I still think I won both fights. It was just a bad year, but it taught me a lot about myself and my character.' He expresses his desire to claim the Lonsdale belt, which he has long admired, and is eager for another chance to fight for it. However, Gilley has ruled out a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the disappointment and frustration caused by their previously cancelled bouts. 'I'll fight anyone in the world, but I won't give Louis Greene another chance,' Gilley said. 'He wasted two years of my career, and I won't entertain him again.' As Gilley moves up in weight to face Brown, he is confident in his skills and determined to succeed, saying, 'I was built for the tough fights in the pros. Let's see if Brown can handle it.' With his passion and desire for success still burning strong, Gilley is focused on making the most of his opportunities and proving himself in the middleweight division.
