There’s an old saying along the lines of ‘You can travel east you can travel west but you’ll always find that home is best’ and in the case of Fauldhouse featherweight Sean Watson he is hoping that the saying rings true for him.
After an exciting international amateur career ,he then joined pro ranks with Billy Nelson at his Flying Scots Gym in Glasgow and left long time trainer Colin McNeil and the Fauldhouse ABC as he looked to carve a career out for himself.
However the after four fights in two years with two of those only resulting in a win he is realises that the old saying above may be right as he signs with local promoter Paul Graham of Prospect Boxing ,and features on his next boxing show on December 7th at Rivals Gym,Wishaw. While former pro referee Graham takes care of guiding the promoting side, local businessman Gerry Gallagher has agreed to becomes his sponsor.
In addition to signing with Graham, Watson will also be reunited with former trainer Colin McNeil “Both myself and Colin (McNeil) are from Fauldhouse. Colin boxed at Commonwealth games and World level in the amateur’s and had a good professional career” said Graham
“Sean is back where he belongs amongst his own people with his best interests at heart, and we aim to get the best out of him and having him challenging for titles and picking up the wins”
He adds “I have added Sean to our upcoming card on the 7th December at Rivals gym in Wishaw, Sean will be in the Home corner versus an opponent yet to be decided. I will be looking for a tough opponent that will not only give him a test but more importantly give him the rounds in order that he may blow the cobwebs away and shed some of the ringrust that he has gathered since his last fight in April this year
Sean Watson joins a seven fight card also features Billy Campbell, Rhys Pagan, Mark Parvin, James Tennyson and two time commonwealth title challenger Kris Hughes.
