Edinburgh’s Craig McEwan 21-2 (10) has got the call to take part in Prizefighter: The Light Middleweights III which takes place on November 3rd in London.

The 30-year-old middleweight has been struggling to get any real significant fights of late and this could well be the opportunity to put the Scot back in the mix for titles and worthwhile paydays.

Speaking to Live Fight, McEwan said: “I had thought about moving up but this sees me dropping down but it’s a great opportunity.”

“I’ve just been patient. To be honest I did think my career might be over but my manager; Billy Nelson had spoke with Eddie Hearn and asked if I wanted to be in it and of course I said yes. I've had a few fights fall through lately but this is great news for me and gives me massive exposure as well."

Further contestants in the traditional eight-man competition will be revealed over the coming weeks.

Hopefully a win in Prizefighter can kick start something for McEwan. He said last week he was contemplating returning to the States as he's struggling to get meaningful fights over here, and had been hoping to be a lot closer to fighting for honours than he is. With all due respect to Martin Murray, I don't see him as being a superior fighter to McEwan at all, and think he'd slot in quite nicely with the crop of British 160lbs fighters - Barker, Macklin, Murray.

McEwan and Carslaw? Guaranteed a Scottish Prizefighter 'champion' then!
