Arthur reveals 'naked' ambition
Alex Arthur
Edinburgh's Alex Arthur is convinced of his superiority
Alex Arthur has vowed to run naked through Princes Street in Edinburgh if he loses to Craig Docherty when the two meet next month.

The Edinburgh boxer, who aims to regain his British super featherweight crown and claim Docherty's Commonwealth belt, is convinced he will win on 8 April.

"There is no way I can lose this fight now," insisted Arthur.

"In the highly unlikely outcome of Docherty beating me, I promise to run through Princes Street butt-naked."

The pair meet at Meadowbank Stadium, with Arthur having the advantage of fighting in front of his home crowd.

"To be perfectly honest, I cannot possibly see myself being beaten by the likes of Docherty. So unfortunately, or luckily, for the people of Edinburgh they will not get to see my bare backside because I will knock-out him out.

"Docherty's certainly gritty and determined but he knows that I am the superior fighter in all departments, from technical skill and experience to strength and punch power."
