THERE hasn’t been a huge amount to be positive about in Scottish boxing over the past 12 months but the announcement recently of a tie-up between Kynoch Boxing and renowned promoter Dennis Hobson at least offers some much-needed optimism for three of the country’s rising prospects. Sheffield-based Hobson, who worked previously with the likes of Ricky Hatton and David Haye, has signed up undefeated trio Dean Sutherland, Calvin McCord and Billy Stuart to his Fight Academy, with a view to making them the centre attraction at future shows in Scotland while also providing a platform to fight down south, too.
