Lakecity pro boxer Stuart McLellan is forging forward after a defunct headbutt sent things into turmoil late last weekend in Taber, Alta.
“I had two good first rounds - was getting him pretty good - then in the third it was really bad so I stopped trying to fight,” McLellan said, noting there were at least 1,200 people in the arena.
The fight was ruled a no contest as McLellan was headbutted leaving a sharp mark on his forehead in illegal fashion.
“I’ll be hoping to get a rematch as soon as I can,” McLellan said.
His record now stands at 21 wins, two losses and three draws in his pro career — something many a fighter would dream of.
He said he hopes to take a bit of time off to refresh and rejuvenate while working towards multiple championships.
Asked about the circus show between Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather, McLellan said he thinks it should a free contest to the boxer.
“It’s like Tiger Woods putting skates on to get in the rink with Wayne Gretzky. Let’s see what happens?” he said.
