THE TV cameras will be on Galashiels boxer John McCallum later this year.

On November 2, the light heavyweight is set to compete in the Ultimate Boxxer show at London’s O2 – which will be broadcast live on Channel 5.

And if he prevails in the competition, he will receive the £50,000 cash prize.

He said: “This will be a great event to be part of, I am really looking forward to it.

"I have had a lot of backing from the public in Galashiels. I am very grateful to F. Cunningham Surfaces and SW Walker electrical who have sponsored me.”

The eight-man tournament will also feature Idris Virgo, who made an appearance on ITV’s hit show Love Island this summer.
