Gilley Vows to Take On Any Opponent, Except Greene

Following a challenging year, Sam Gilley is looking to start anew as he moves up to middleweight to face Aston Brown in Glasgow. The former Commonwealth champion had a tough time in 2023, drawing with Gideon Onyenani and then suffering a unanimous decision loss to Ishmael Davis in his bid for the British super-welterweight title. Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains optimistic and is eager to prove himself once again. He still harbors ambitions of winning the Lonsdale belt, a goal that has driven him since watching Ricky Hatton beat Jon Thaxton. Gilley has made it clear that he is open to fighting anyone, but has ruled out a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the collapse of their previously planned bouts as a major factor. Gilley is confident in his abilities and is looking forward to testing himself against Brown, a former international amateur with notable punching power. With a renewed sense of determination, Gilley is ready to put the past behind him and make a statement in the boxing world.
