Kelty-based boxer Connor Law made quick work of his professional debut at the weekend and show promoter Paul Graham insisted the Fife fighter is “going places”.
The 22-year-old, who fights out of Glenrothes Boxing Club, took his professional bow at the Ravenscraig Sports Facility in Motherwell after joining Tommy Gilmour’s stable in the wake of narrowly missing out on a place at the Commonwealth Games this summer.
And Law showed no signs of nerves on his first outing as he swiftly put paid to the challenge of fellow debutant and former kickboxing champion Aaron Robinson.
Law dropped his Lincoln opponent early in the first round with a stunning left hand and had him down again before referee Victor Loughlin stepped in to stop the fight just seconds later.
Prospect Boxing promoter Paul Graham was clearly impressed with Law’s power and said he was have no hesitancy in helping to boost Law’s rise through the rankings.
“Connor Law is a machine – he’s going places that lad,” he said.
“He’s looking good. I know he was disappointed not to get to the Commonwealth Games but the best thing for him is to turn pro.
“He’s one to watch and he’ll get to British title level no problem.
“He’s Tommy Gilmour’s boy but I’m happy to put him on my shows.”
Law’s trainer, Stevie McGuire Snr, said last week that he has a three-year plan for Law mapped out, with a British title fight hopefully on the cards within the next year or so.
