Boxing: Anderson has green light on Quigley

Edinburgh's British super-middleweight title contender Kenny Anderson has been told by the British Boxing Board that he will definitely fight Tony Quigley in his final eliminator for the British 12-stone crown at the Bolton Arena on November 26.

The winner will clash with the victor of the British title scrap between champion Paul Smith of Liverpool and 2008 Olympic champion James DeGale in Liverpool on December 11.

DeGale is favourite to beat Smith but 2006 Commonwealth Games champion Anderson has a chance if he ends up facing him, according to his former Meadowbank ring coach, Peter Glass.

Glass said: "Anderson is a big puncher so, if he ultimately challenges DeGale, he has at least a puncher's chance of victory."

Meanwhile, Lochend welterweight boxer Tommy Philbin tops the bill at the Hibs Supporters' club, Easter Road, on Sunday against Lee Gallacher of Motherwell's Forgewood club in the Sparta club's first show of the season.

Also in action will be the host club's Sean McLaughlin, who will clash with Lochend's Ian Keyes, while Sparta's Craig Jack boxes Clovenstone's Liam Robertson.

Boxing starts at 1pm with tickets available on the door.

Meanwhile, Gilmerton welterweight Gary Young will box on the undercard of the David Haye v Audley Harrison heavyweight title clash at Manchester's MEN Arena on November 13 where he will fight England's Mark Hefron.

Capital bantamweight Gareth Stemp is also in action next month. He will box a yet-to-be -named opponent at Glasgow's Central Hotel on November 29.
