Sam Gilley Looks Forward to Queensberry Promotions Deal

Gilley was last seen in action at York Hall in 2023 when he defeated Louis Greene over 12 rounds to secure the Commonwealth title. The London-born fighter became English champion in 2021, defeating Evaldas Korsakas. What followed was two successful defences of the belt against Drew Brown and Sean Robinson. The sole defeat on his record came against Danny Ball when he lost on points over 10 rounds at the Copper Box Arena.

On signing with Frank Warren, Gilley said: “Oh mate, it is a dream come true, really.” He continued: “I am now 30 years old, which is scary to say, and it is the first time I have been actually signed by a promoter. So to be signed by Frank, with what he is doing in British boxing, is massive.”

The 30-year-old super welterweight fighter conveyed his excitement regarding the deal: “I think it is going to be a good team-up with this being the main three years of my career coming up, so I am ecstatic and I just can’t wait to get going.”

Inactivity Frustrations

Reflecting on his frustrations regarding inactivity, “Magic Man” said: “I have been ready to go for a year and I have been promised fight dates that haven’t happened, so thankfully Frank has taken me on and I can start getting some regular fights and putting on some good shows.”

He added: “We have been mandatory for the British for a long time. I had an injury at the start of the year that stopped me fighting Jack McGann, which is why Louis jumped in. We obviously know what Louis done and now I am stuck with him again!”

“I am not like a flashy boxer,” Gilley added on his entertainment value. “I throw a lot of bombs and, of my last five or six opponents, every one of them has been on the floor and I’ve been in two fight of the year contenders in that time. So I am always in exciting fights and people do enjoy it when I am in the ring.”

Frank Warren Reacts to Sam Gilley Signing

Promoter Frank Warren expressed his delight at signing Gilley: “I am delighted to add Sam to our ranks because he is a quality and an exciting fighter who wants to be in big fights. He has clearly shown his pedigree over recent years with some excellent wins and he will now be given every opportunity to push on and step up in class.”

Warren added: “I am confident that Sam will quickly add more belts to his collection and become an exciting and very popular feature on Queensberry and TNT Sports shows.”
