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

Sam Gilley is set to put a disappointing year behind him as he moves up to middleweight to face Aston Brown 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 determined to prove himself. Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains confident in his abilities, stating, 'I still think I won both fights... It was a tough year, but it taught me a lot about myself and my character.' Gilley has his sights set on winning the Lonsdale belt and is eager for another opportunity to fight for the title. However, one fight he is not interested in is a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the way their previously planned rematch fell through twice. 'I will fight anyone in the world, but I will never give Louis Greene the time of day again,' Gilley said. Instead, he is focused on his upcoming bout with Brown, a former international amateur with impressive punching power. Gilley is confident in his own toughness and ability to give Brown a challenging fight, saying, 'I was built for the hard stuff in the pros. Let's see if he is.' With a renewed sense of passion and determination, Gilley is ready to make his mark in the middleweight division.
