MORE TICKETS RELEASED FOR INVERNESS BOXING SPECTACULAR

Huge public interest in the Highlands’ first professional boxing show has led to extra tables being released.

Local heroes Gary Cornish, Andrew Young and Alastair Chisholm will headline the event at the Drumossie Hotel in Inverness on Friday, December 2.

And promoter Chris Gilmour has revealed that unprecedented demand for tickets has forced him to put extra tables up for sale after the original allocation sold-out.

Gilmour said: “I’ve always found it hard to believe that the Highlands has never hosted a professional boxing show before now.

“And after the demand we’ve had for tickets since I announced the show I’m even more astonished because there is certainly a market for boxing!

“Despite the original allocation having sold out, there are still a huge number of people coming on looking for tickets and rather than disappoint them I’ve managed to release another 50.

“I can’t thank John Simpson, banqueting manager at the Drumossie Hotel, and his team enough because they’ve worked miracles to reshape the original plan in order to safely and comfortably accommodate the extra tables.

“I’m certainly looking forward to the show and I’m sure there will an absolutely cracking atmosphere with the Drumossie packed to capacity.”

Six foot seven inch heavyweight hope Cornish has already racked up three victories (two by knockout) since turning professional earlier this year and impressed fans and pundits alike when beating Lithuanian Rolandas Cesna in Aberdeen in September.

Former Commonwealth games bronze medallist Young returns to ring for the first time two years at cruiserweight looking for a third win in four fights, whilst welterweight Chisholm will be aiming to keep his 100% record in his second contest.

Gilmour added: “Training has gone very well so far for all three of the boys and we’ll hopefully be in a position to announce their opponents shortly.

“We’re currently scouring Europe looking for suitable opponents to test all three and let them experience a different type of challenge from what we’re used to.

“But with the backing of a capacity crowd and a proper Highland welcome with pipes and drums their opponents will be left in no doubt about whose backyard they’re in!”

Tickets are priced at £1000 for a table of ten or £100 per person and include a champagne reception and three-course dinner.
