Forres boxer Fraser Wilkinson gets ready for Moray's biggest-ever boxing night when he takes on Corey McCulloch for the Scottish super welterweight title

Fraser Wilkinson says is privileged to be part of what promises to be Moray’s biggest-ever boxing night.

The 21-year-old product of Elgin Amateur Boxing Club fights former sparring partner Corey McCullough for the Scottish professional super welterweight title at Elgin Town Hall on December 17.

With fellow Moray pro Andrew Smart on the same bill in what is expected to be a second Scottish title fight for the vacant welterweight belt, it promises to be one of Elgin’s greatest sporting occasions.

‘Wilko’, with five wins under his belt at professional level, faces his toughest challenge yet against the man who was recently edged out in a WBC International silver welterweight title scrap.

“His last fight was when he stepped in and fought Dean Sutherland on a week’s notice and they fought over ten rounds and he came up just short,” Wilkinson said. “Dean is away to fight for the Commonwealth title.

“I’ve sparred with Corey a handful of times and when the opportunity came up to fight him for the title, I was 100 per cent up for it.

“A shot at the Scottish title is what I’ve been working towards this whole past year, building momentum.

“I’ve not given my promoter and manager Sam (Kynoch) two seconds to think, I’ve been at him constantly and he must be getting a bit annoyed by me.”

If the Moray fighter wins, he could become the youngest British Boxing Board of Control belt holder in the UK.

There is already a waiting list for tickets for the big night.

“I don’t think it’s ever been done before, two lads from the same club going for essentially the same titles on the same night at the same venue.

“It’s a privilege to be part of it. I’m glad the promoters have come together and I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to fight on it.

“It’s going to be a good fight. Knowing Corey can go 10 rounds and I’ve not done anything more than six, it just means that if an opportunity comes and I box the way I can, I hope to get the win and prove that I’m cream of the crop.

“I want to do what Dean Sutherland wasn’t able to do and push on. I will be chasing Dean, he is the same weight and he’s going to be fighting for the vacant Commonwealth title in November.

“It is probably going to be one of the biggest sporting events this area has ever seen.”
