Craig McEwan (born 13 April 1982) is a Scottish boxer raised in Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, Scotland. He began attending boxing classes at Clovenstone Amateur Boxing Club, aged seven, coached by his father Rab. McEwan turned professional in 2006 and was currently fighting at middleweight. He holds a career record of 21 wins with 10 by way of knockout.

McEwan had his first competitive bout aged eleven. During his teenage years McEwan developed into one of Scotland's top amateur boxers. In his thirteen years as an amateur boxer he fought three hundred and seventy-six matches, won ten gold medals in international tournaments, and regularly captained the Scottish International Team. On several occasions he was crowned Scottish champion at both junior and senior level, as well as being European Junior Champion and Senior British & Irish Four Nations Champion. He has twice represented Scotland in the Commonwealth Games, winning a bronze medal in 2002. In 2005, McEwan broke Scotland's amateur boxing record by winning three gold medals at the international level. 

McEwan was a  highly touted world class prospect and his talent and skills were enough to be signed by promoter Oscar De La Hoya as Golden Boy Promotions' first Scottish fighter. McEwan previously fought out of The Wild Card gym in Hollywood, where he was trained by world-renowned trainer Freddie Roach.

In a fight on 12 March 2011 against Irish boxer Andy Lee billed "The Celtic War", McEwan, after an almost perfect boxing performance, was convincingly knocked out in the 10th round by a left hook. Two of the fight's judges had the match scored even while one had McEwan with a slight edge.

On 5 November 2011, McEwan was knocked out by Peter Quillin in the sixth round of their fight in Cancún, Mexico. McEwan protested the decision, referee Manolo Alcocer stopped the fight too early. 

Both of the other fighters went on to be renowned and respected world champions, mCewan came back to Scotland hoping for oppurtunitys in his home country has unfortunately lacked both quality training opportunities and fights it breaks my heart to see such a talent not get his chance back here in the UK as he has the talent to challenge any middleweight world-wide.

I hope this petition will raise a few eyebrows in the political boxing world and someone will give him the recognition and chance which he more than deserves and his fans more than want to see he gives endlessly to his community to so let's show our support and get him back confident and top of the world where he belongs before its is to late!
