Sam Gilley is ready to turn his fortunes around as he steps up to middleweight to face Aston Brown in Glasgow. Following a tough year that saw him draw with Gideon Onyenani and narrowly miss out on the British super-welterweight title against Ishmael Davis, Gilley is determined to make a statement.

Despite still believing he won both fights, Gilley acknowledges the lessons learned from those setbacks. He remains eager to claim the Lonsdale belt, an ambition that drives him. However, one fight he refuses to entertain is a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the frustration and wasted time due to Greene's pullouts from their previously scheduled bouts. Gilley is confident in his abilities and toughness as he prepares to face Brown, a former international amateur with notable punching power, in what promises to be a compelling matchup.
