The up and coming fighters is pleased to finally receive a showcase fight in the UK. Before the April date, McEwan will take a fight in Mexico on January 28.

"I think it's about time," said McEwan to STV. "I have a lot of interest back home which I never knew I would have having not fought there. I'm looking forward to it. I think it is a must for me to fight more in the UK for me to get a title, so yeah it's going to be a good night. I hope to fight a name fighter over there too so we will see."
