We train at the same gym.

Plus Townsley impressed all when sparring Damean Kelly for the Irishman's European title shot earlier this year.

McArthur, a lightweight, already has a win over a guy called Gethin, who although not a brilliant fighter, outweighed him on the night by almost a stone. Gethin went on to beat former Commonwealth welterweight title challenger Craig Dickson up at around 11 stone.

I've seen both of them in the amatuers, and Townsleys pro debut last May at Motherwell Civic.

Trust me on it.
