Former Scottish amateur star Lewis Benson is brewing with confidence after a flawless start to his pro career.
The Edinburgh native notched up his second win on the MGM Promotions Boxing Dinner Club event in October and how looks ahead to another outing at Edinburgh's Meadowbank Arena. Light welterweight 'Kid Caramel' won numerous Scottish titles as an amateur and went on to represent Scotland at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow; he is a man in a hurry for titles.
"I want to be pushed quickly and fight as much as I can. I feel the start of my career has gone well. I'm always in the gym and ready to go. The fans can expect a flawless performance for me on December 5".
Benson is already a big hit in Edinburgh, he is entertaining away from the ring as much as he is in it. Benson is undoubtedly full of potential and a man in a hurry as he is already eyeing titles in 2016 which will be a big year for not just Benson, but for many of his counterparts at Lochend ABC which include featherweight star Stephen Tiffney, Tommy Philbin, Brian Forsyth and John Thain who will all be targeting titles themselves.
"I want to be fighting for titles within the next 12 months. I think I can fight for a Scottish title inside that period. I will fight any light welterweight in Britain in 12 months time".
Tickets are available via www.ticketmaster.co.uk/MGM to see Lewis Benson's third professional contest on December 5 at Edinburgh's Meadowbank Arena which is topped by David Brophy vs. Tobias Webb.
