Kash Farooq: record, next fight and profile →
Commonwealth bantamweight king Lee McGregor and British champion Kash Farooq will put their titles on the line on Scottish boxing’s biggest night for more than a decade. McGregor (7-0, 6 KOs) and Farooq (13-0, 6 KOs) will collide on the #MTKFightNight at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena on November 16 – live on ESPN+ in the United States in association with Top Rank.
Daniel Dubois heads a ten-person shortlist for the Boxing Writers’ Club Young Boxer of the Year award after a stellar year that saw him win the British heavyweight title as well as beat two former world title challengers.
Lee McGregor has had a further say regarding a potential showdown with Kash Farooq. The Commonwealth bantamweight champion, from Edinburgh, Scotland, was ringside in Glasgow last weekend to watch Farooq retain the British bantamweight crown for keeps as he made the third successful defence.
Kash Farooq made history by becoming only the third Scotsman to win the British title outright. The bantamweight made the third defence of the crown he won just 11 months ago –– and it ended inside a round. Farooq, the Pakistani-born Glasgow man, took on Bristol’s Duane Winters at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Glasgow, Scotland.
