Scotland's Gold medal winning captain Callum Johnson turns pro

Callum Johnson the Commonwealth 81kg Gold medallist will sign professional papers today. This is a big loss not only to ABS the Scottish Amateur Boxing organisation, but should also have been a loss to Team GB.

Another talent turning over before the long-awaited London 2012 Olympics must concern the BABA, especially so soon after the success of the Lincolnshire boxer in Delhi!

Having said that Johnson was not on the podium squad (which beggars belief in itself).

Personally, I wish Callum every success in the professional ranks as he's been a fine captain for Scotland and carried himself well in the Scottish set up whenever he's been involved.
