Preston’s unbeaten former champion boxer Scott Fitzgerald is planning a major ring comeback.
The troubled 32-year-old told fans he was ready to return to the ring after he was found not guilty of rape in February. He had protested his innocence since first being arrested in 2020 and a jury at Preston Crown Court took less than two hours to unanimously find him not guilty. Since then, the former British super-welterweight champion has been hitting the gym hard in a bid to return to the ring.
“I was just laying on the bed before the show, about to get ready. Picked it up and it was Scott Fitzgerald. “And it was great to hear from him. You know, he sounded great. Told me he’s coming back, and I’m delighted for him. “He was unsavable, really, if I’m honest”, said Hearn, referring to Fitzgerald’s several arrests and his battles with gambling, drugs and alcohol in recent years. “Myself and Steve Wood , we done a great job - got him into a rehab facility.
