We are delighted to announce that Scottish boxing legend Ricky Burns will be our chieftain this year.

Ricky is one of only three British boxers to have won world titles in 3 weight divisions and the first from Scotland, having held the WBO Super Featherweight title from 2010 to 2011, the WBO Lightweight title from 2012 to 2014, and the WBA Super Lightweight title from 2016 to 2017. At regional level he held the Commonwealth super-featherweight title from 2008 to 2009, and challenged for the British and European super-featherweight titles.

Welcome to Carmunnock, Ricky.
