Charley Brown: Aberdeen’s next boxing champion on the rise
In the vibrant world of boxing, new talents emerge regularly, but few have the potential to shine as brightly as Charley Brown. The 21-year-old lightweight from Aberdeen is set to make her professional debut at the Rich Energy Arena, marking a significant milestone in her boxing career. Trained at the renowned Assassin’s Health and Fitness Village gym, which is owned by boxing legend Lee McAllister, Brown is ready to step into the ring with a flawless amateur record of 10 wins from 10 contests.
Lee McAllister, a celebrated figure in the boxing community, has witnessed firsthand the dedication and skill that Brown brings to the sport. Having held multiple titles throughout his illustrious career, including the WBU world title and Commonwealth belts, McAllister knows what it takes to succeed at the highest levels. He believes that Brown possesses all the necessary attributes to become a champion, stating, “I believe Charley will be the next female boxing superstar from Aberdeen.”
Aberdeen has a rich history of producing exceptional female boxing talent, with Kristen Fraser winning the Commonwealth bantamweight title in 2018. McAllister is optimistic that Brown can follow in these footsteps and achieve similar success. He emphasized her hard work and dedication, noting, “Charley has been training so hard and is so dedicated.” As she prepares for her first professional fight, McAllister is excited to see how she adapts to the challenges of the pro ranks.
Brown’s transition from amateur to professional boxing is not without its challenges. McAllister acknowledges that she is entering the professional scene at a high level, but he remains confident in her abilities. “Charley has a professional style and not an amateur style,” he remarked, highlighting her readiness for this new chapter. As she steps into the ring, the boxing community will be watching closely to see how she performs against seasoned opponents.
The upcoming event at the Rich Energy Arena will not only showcase Brown’s debut but also feature other local talents, including welterweight Nathan Beattie and heavyweight Liam Allan. McAllister has worked hard to create an accessible event for the public, with ticket prices set at £40 for VIP and £20 for standard seating. His goal is to foster local support for boxing while providing opportunities for emerging fighters.
As Charley Brown prepares to make her mark in the boxing world, the support from McAllister and the local community will undoubtedly play a crucial role in her journey. With her talent and determination, she is poised to become a significant figure in Aberdeen’s boxing legacy.
