Commonwealth gold medallist Reese Lynch is now targetting world titles in the professional ranks after amateur success.<\/b><\/p>\n
Lynch, 24, will defend his unbeaten start to his nascent pro career against England’s Matthew King, 30, at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow next month.<\/p>\n
A gold medal winner in Birmingham four years ago at light welterweight, Lynch missed out on the Paris Olympics in 2024 with a rib injury.<\/p>\n
The Fauldhouse fighter turned pro and has won his first three bouts, and says he is embracing the pressure of earning a living from boxing.<\/p>\n
“There is always going to be pressure, coming from that good background – people are expecting you to do well but pressure is what you make of it,” Lynch told BBC Scotland.<\/p>\n
“If you build yourself off it and you just focus on yourself, then it shouldn’t worry you too much as long as you are getting the outcomes and performing the way you can.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
