Sam Hickey: The rising middleweight star is a real showman and could be the best prospect in British boxing

Sam Hickey is a real showman. In fact, he’s a member of the guild.

Hickey is one of the best boxing prospects in Britain. He was an outstanding amateur who won the Commonwealth Games, only to see to his weight class removed from the Olympics themselves.

Now a professional boxer, he is five fights into his career. He's displayed his sharp movement, strong counter-punching and spectacular finishing, especially in his last fight where he delivered a tremendous knockout of Todd Tompkins.

The Scotsman is from a family of showmen, the community that travels around the country operating fairgrounds and carnivals.
