Sam Gilley is set to put a disappointing year behind him as he moves up to middleweight to face Aston Brown in Glasgow. The former Commonwealth champion had a tough 2023, drawing with Gideon Onyenani and then narrowly missing out on the British super-welterweight title against Ishmael Davis.

Despite the setbacks, Gilley remains determined to win the Lonsdale belt and is confident in his abilities. However, he has ruled out a rematch with Louis Greene, citing the way their previously scheduled fights fell through.

Gilley is now focused on his upcoming bout with Brown, a former international amateur with impressive punching power, and is eager to test his opponent's mettle in the professional arena.
