Alex Arthur To Face Boris Sinitsin In Edinburgh

Edinburgh's British and Commonwealth Super Featherweight Champion Alex Arthur is taking the traditional way to the top by fighting Boris Sinitsin for the European title this summer.

The fight was due to go to purse bids on Tuesday, but Sports Network reached an agreement beforehand with the Sinitsin camp for the fight to take place in Edinburgh this summer. A date and venue are still to be confirmed.

Arthur has lost just once in 21 fights, while the 33 year old Russian veteran has won 46 of 54 contests to date, including his most recent win - against Craig Docherty at the Kelvin Hall last October.
