Dundee boxer Paul Kean is closing in on the biggest night of his life.
The 29-year-old is taking on fearsome puncher, Sulaimon Olagbade, at the Caird Hall on Saturday night.
The IBO Continental title is on the line and marks the Dundee native’s spectacular rise through the ranks.
Paul has just returned from Tenerife where he completed his toughest ever training camp.
Speaking to Dundee Live this week he said he’s ready to put on an amazing show for his home crowd.
He told us: “This is the best I’ve felt coming into fight week all the works done now and I’m ready to get the job done.
“I cannot wait to make my entrance in front of my Dundee crowd and can’t thank the everyone enough for the support.”
And writing on Facebook he added: “Thankyou to every single person who’s bought a ticket.
“Unbelievable amount of tickets I’ve done for this, Dundee have really come out.
“ I’ll make sure I put on the performance to keep the belt in this city.
“Also big thanks to my sponsors providing myself and my team with the opportunity to go to Tenerife and supporting me through out the whole camp - these things wouldn’t be possible with out everyone of them.”
Paul - who is currently the Scottish and Celtic Superwelter weight champion and Celtic middleweight champion - is a top role model in the city, helping his dad coach the next generation of fighters at the family’s hugely successful Skyaxe Combat and Fitness Gym.
