McCullough targets Glasgow fight

Frank Warren expects the ban on Wayne McCullough boxing in Britain to be lifted soon.

McCullough, who switched from Mat Tinley's camp last March, hopes to return to British boxing on 8 June in Glasgow.

Warren has planned that McCullough will be on the supporting bill to Scott Harrison's shot at WBO featherweight champion Juan Pablo Chacon.

"Wayne has applied to the Northern Ireland Area Council of the British Board and I expect him to get the all-clear,'' said Warren.

"Hopefully he will fight in Glasgow and I would like to match him with the winner of Harrison and Chacon later this year."

McCullough has been battling with the Board for over two years to get permission to box again in Britain following the detection of a cyst near his brain.

He has since been cleared in the United States and returned to the ring earlier this year having been licensed by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

"I certainly feel that Wayne has the ability to be world champion again," said Warren.
