Star says he has what it takes to win
Perth boxing star Luke Bibby is confident he can shake off his first ever loss and get back to winning ways as he heads to Scotland's biggest venue for his latest fight tomorrow night.
The determined 24-year-old says he is as focused as ever ahead of the bout at Glasgow's SSE Hydro against Peruvian Cesar Ignacio Paredes (32).
The Perth Railway boxer - who turned pro just over a year ago - suffered his first ever professional defeat last month in Wales.
Branded “a sore one to take” by the rising talent, Bibby lost on a points decision against Rashid Omar during the live-aired BBC show Nations Fight Night, marking the end of an 9-0 unbeaten run.
