DEBUTANT Jordan Grant headlined the Kynoch Boxing-promoted Pugilism at the Plaza show at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, making a fine start to his professional career.
The Hamilton boxer faced Rochdale’s Andy Bishop in a four-rounder in the lightheavyweight division and controlled the fight from start to finish, landing heavy body shots throughout. Every punch thrown seemed to be a power shot and it was clear Grant hoped to get the stoppage on his resume. Alas it wasn’t to be, but it was a comfortable debut none the less, referee-for-the-night Kenny Pringle (Hamilton) scoring 40-36 Grant, to the delight of a large support.
