Gilley Vows to Bounce Back, Refuses Rematch with Greene
After a tumultuous year, Sam Gilley is shifting his focus to the middleweight division, where he will face Aston Brown in an upcoming bout in Glasgow. The former Commonwealth champion reflected on his previous year, which included a draw with Gideon Onyenani and a narrow loss to Ishmael Davis in a British super-welterweight title fight. Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains optimistic and is eager to prove himself once again. He expressed his desire to win the Lonsdale belt, a goal he has been striving for since watching Ricky Hatton's victory over Jon Thaxton. Gilley also addressed his past encounter with Louis Greene, stating that he will not engage in a rematch due to the way their previous fight was handled. Instead, he is focusing on his upcoming bout with Brown, a former international amateur with impressive punching power. Gilley is confident in his abilities and is determined to give Brown a challenging fight, showcasing his toughness and endurance in the professional arena.
