Edinburgh’s undefeated IBO Inter-Continental and Celtic super lightweight champion, Jason Easton, has signed a long-term promotional agreement with Cyclone Promotions.
Easton will defend his IBO Inter-Continental title against an as yet unnamed opponent on the Risk vs Reward bill at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh on Saturday November 11.
Tickets are now on sale priced from £40 and Barry McGuigan, founder of Cyclone Promotions, said Jason has proved he can really fight.
He rates the Scot as one of the top super lightweight prospects in Britain and Ireland.
The all-action Edinburgh fighter is currently ranked No 7 in Europe and is fast closing in on some big fights.
In July at Braehead, Easton beat Belgium’s highly-ranked Steve Jamoye, stopping his more experienced opponent in the ninth-round.
McGuigan feels 2018 will be an exciting year for Easton and says there huge opportunities on the domestic and international scene.
The former world champion added: “Jason is a brilliant lad who has proven he can really fight.
“Last time out in Glasgow he was in one the best fights I’ve witnessed in a long time.
“Jason is learning all of the time and he has a great deal of potential and we are very pleased to have him join the Cyclone team.”
The boxer, who trains at Craigmillar, said: “I’m delighted to have signed a long-term deal with Cyclone.
“They have developed some of the most exciting boxers in Britain and Ireland. I know I’m with the best team possible to take me to the top.”
Easton’s manager Billy Nelson said: “Jason Easton is a fantastic young man.
“The future looks bright for Jason and I will be working with Cyclone to deliver some big nights for him in the near future.”
