Alex Arthur will make his return to the ring on Saturday April 14 as he headlines his own AAA Promotions’ bill at Meadowbank Sports Centre in his native Edinburgh.
Arthur made his promotional debut in August last year and halted Georgia’s Aleksander Vakhtangashvili in the fourth round.
Discussing his forthcoming promotion Arthur said: “The Edinburgh public have been asking me whenever I have been out and about when the next promotion will be in Edinburgh and I can now confirm the date.
“I am delighted AAA Promotions will be back at Meadowbank as our first show was a huge success and the talk of the town for days afterwards.
“In terms of how I boxed, it was the best I had felt for a couple of years as I am back training with Peter Harrison, was properly prepared and boxing at light-welterweight.”
An opponent for Arthur will be named in the coming weeks and he is looking to make 2012 a busy year. Arthur added: “I hope this will be the first of three bouts this year and that I can fight for a title of some sort at the end of the year.
“I had a really good break over the festive season and took care of a few niggles. Now I am looking for 2012 to be a success by keeping active in the ring and that AAA Promotions continues to thrive. We are awaiting confirmation that a boxer, who I am sure will really appeal to the Edinburgh fans, will be appearing on the undercard.”
