After a tumultuous year, Sam Gilley is ready to turn the page and make a statement in the middleweight division against Aston Brown in Glasgow. The former Commonwealth champion reflected on his recent setbacks, including a draw with Gideon Onyenani and a unanimous decision loss to Ishmael Davis for the British super-welterweight title. Despite the disappointment, Gilley remains optimistic and confident in his abilities. He expressed his desire to win the Lonsdale belt, a goal he's had since watching Ricky Hatton's victory over Jon Thaxton.
However, one fight he's not interested in is a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the soured relationship and wasted time due to Greene's pullouts. Gilley is now focused on his upcoming bout with Brown, a former international amateur with impressive punching power, and is determined to give him a tough test in the professional arena.
