If boxing was his trade, survival was perhaps his most inspiring trait.

This remarkable resilience was visible, too, in the ring. I was sensible and my life was good. Jim Watt finally lost his title against Alexis Arguello in the Empire Pool, Wembley, in June 1981. The esteemed boxing commentator, Harry Carpenter, later described that fight in Glasgow as the greatest atmosphere he had ever experienced in all his years in boxing, which is quite an accolade. The greatest irony was that it would later become knowledge that O’Grady was not remotely Irish or Catholic although this was only revealed by his manager after the fight and left a lot of people in the media looking rather foolish. ‘One Sean O’Grady…there’s only one Sean O’Graaaaady !!!’. Brian Fantana. Why you should expect 100-plus wins and more world... 'It needs to happen NOW': Boris Johnson urged by Lord Hain to knight Lewis Hamilton after Briton becomes... Hugh Macdonald For The Scottish Daily Mail. ROSS McCrorie believes the Scotland call-ups that Aberdeen’s players have received this season show the level the Pittodrie club have been performing at and insisted they will go into the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final with Celtic confident of victory.

It gave me credibility. 'I was a family man, I had a business in wedding cars and a garage.

Watt was enjoying something of an Indian summer as a boxer and was 31 when he won the title. A man who was murdered within a flat in Ibrox was involved in an altercation earlier in the day, police have said.

It might not be to everyone’s tastes but it will always be about genuine fans saying what they think because they love the club.

I have lost my two children. CELTIC chairman Ian Bankier today revealed the adverse impact of the “destructive” coronavirus outbreak has led for the Parkhead club’s profits falling by over £10m in the past financial year. So it was that a Scottish boxing champion who used to proudly sing 'Flower of Scotland' in the ring to ringside fans had his most memorable ring triumphs choreographed for him by Essex man Lawless.

KENNY DALGLISH says that Neil Lennon deserves the chance to turn Celtic’s season around, and the club icon believes that the board will stand by their manager despite their recent poor form.

He then proceeded to defend his belt against Roberto Vasquez, Charlie Nash and Howard Davis Junior before he was lined up to face the young American challenger, Sean O’Grady, in October 1980, again in the Kelvin Hall. The last major boxing staged at Ibrox was Jim Watt's WBC lightweight title defence against America's Howard Davis in June 1980. Watt points out that his night with Buchanan showed he could trade blows with the best but it was a night in Madrid in February 1978 that showed he could beat the best.

Incidentally, this bout was historic because it was the first ever world title fight staged in Scotland where an American referee, New York's Arthur Mercante, who would officiate at the first Ali v Frazier heavyweight title joust in March 1971, was in charge. I got through it.'.

His sixth and last world title fight was against Alexis Arguello, a future all-time great, at Wembley, the graveyard of so many Scottish hopes. "A lot of things are said in the heat of the moment, and anyone can make a mistake," he said. Looking back on what was written it’s clear that in some aspects we were spot on and in others we were hopelessly naive. It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. Davies may have dazzled the Ibrox ringside crowd with the glaring salmon pink boxing trunks that encased his flanks and which were made for the American challenger by Glasgow boxing referee and bespoke tailor, Len Mullen, but all the real razzle-dazzle came from Scotland's Jim Watt, whose superior boxing over 15 rain-soaked rounds made Watt a deserved winner. I knew this was not going to last. His son was killed, aged 17, in a car crash in 1995. And what about Celtic I hear you ask?

'I conditioned my mind then to cope with what I had to cope with. This realisation was marked by blood.

He went on record as saying that his wife was a Catholic and his son was a Celtic fan as he attempted to play down any potential sectarian division. To their eternal shame there was a press element who had tried to stoke up a Catholic versus Protestant element in the fight.
