Scottish super-middleweight David Brophy has set his heart on winning the British title as he prepares to fight in front of his fanatical support in Glasgow.

The Caldercruix fighter (19-2-1-KO3) returns to Scotland for the first time since January 2017 on MTK Global’s show at Emirates Arena tonight – live on BoxNation – and has outlined his latest ambitions.

The popular Brophy said: “I’ve got big support coming. I’ve got people even showing up for the weigh-in. I don’t know how or why because I’ve only got three mates!

“You always see them there and it means a lot. It doesn’t matter where I go – they come and support me.

“Realistically, world level is a long way away at this stage and we need to get back in the gym, back working and back under the lights.

“I don’t like to look too far ahead. I like to take baby steps. If I can get back to British title level, that’d be good.

“Obviously in my last fight, I fought Rocky Fielding for the British title and lost but hopefully one day I can get my hands on that Lonsdale belt.”

Brophy features on a stellar card that also includes Darragh Foley v Chris Jenkins, Stephen Ormond v George Ashie, Kieran Smith and more.

“We have a fight with the new coaching team that will dust off some of the cobwebs and then we’ll see what’s next.

“I’m loving training in Los Angeles so far. It feels like home. I’ve come all the way from Australia and they’ve welcomed me with open arms so I’m loving it.

“I’ve got a good left hook and a good right hand. My left hook has got me through my whole career but anything that lands should be good.”
