John Simpson faces Paul Appleby in the main event, and Scott Harrison returns to boxing after a seven-year absence today in Glasgow.
John Simpson faces Paul Appleby in the main event, and Scott Harrison returns to boxing after a seven-year absence today in Glasgow.

Today at 2:30 p.m. EDT, BoxNation goes live from Kelvin Hall in Glasgow for a big night of Scottish boxing headlined by a pair of former British featherweight champions squaring off in the 12-round main event, in a rematch of a fight from 2008.

John Simpson (22-9, 9 KO) will battle Paul Appleby (18-3, 11 KO) for the BBBofC Celtic super featherweight title, currently held by Appleby, who won the vacant title in March against Stephen Ormond. He defeated Simpson on scores of 115-114, 115-114, and 115-113 when they fought in '08, but both have seen their fortunes dip a bit since that fight, with Simpson going 5-3 and Appleby going 6-3.

The main co-feature bout will be the return of former two-time world titleholder Scott Harrison (25-2-2, 14 KO), who has not fought since 2005 and actually did weigh in yesterday and all that, so he's fighting. It's really happening and wasn't called off 24 hours ahead of time. Harrison looked in fairly good shape considering he hasn't fought in seven years, has had a plethora of problems outside the ring, and turns 35 in August. He'll be facing Gyorgy Mizsei Jr (7-0, 3 KO), an 18-year-old Hungarian fighter, a true novice.

Here's the rest of the lineup, or as close as I can tell:

Welterweights
Gary McMillan (14-3-1, 3 KO) vs Kevin McCauley (10-37-3)

Junior Welterweights
Hugh Gray (pro debut) vs Billy Smith (13-117-2)

Super Featherweights
Michael Roberts (8-0, 1 KO) vs Zsolt Nagy (15-21, 7 KO)

Cruiserweights
Barry Connell (9-2-1, 1 KO) vs Scott Edgar (0-1)

Junior Welterweights
Sammy Hill (3-0) vs Mark McKray (2-12-1, 1 KO)

Lighweights
Ryan Collins (1-0) vs Dan Naylor (1-11)

Junior Middleweights
John Thain (6-0, 1 KO) vs Tony Randell (12-26-2, 4 KO)
