He said: “This will be the first ever professional boxing show in Peterhead.
“Perhaps some people think Peterhead is in the middle of nowhere but I take a different view and am ready to put the spotlight on the town and the local boxing talent with this event.
“Some people cannot travel down to Aberdeen for a boxing show because they do not have cars but this will give them a chance to enjoy boxing.
“It will be on their doorstep and they will be able to watch the action and also see up-and-coming local fighters.
“In the surrounding areas outside Aberdeen, boxers have the talent and determination but don’t have the exposure or people to back them.
“I want to make Peterhead a destination where we can have professional boxing.
Lee McAllister defeats Danny Williams in his WBU Heavyweight Title fight with a 10th round stoppage.
McAllister, 36, was a two-weight WBU champion and two-weight Commonwealth champion before announcing his retirement in October 2013 due to injury.
Following a two-year absence McAllister returned to ring action under the auspices of the British and Irish Boxing Authority.
He has secured five titles since his return to action and last summer defeated former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams to take the WBU title.
When McAllister first turned professional in 2002 he was based in Sheffield under the guidance of legendary trainer Brendan Ingle.
The majority of his early fights were in England and he wants to give emerging north-east fighters a platform closer to home.
He said: “When I started boxing as a professional it was seen as too far away and people wanted me to box out of Glasgow and Sheffield so they could build me up.
“Aberdeen is on the map now because of what I did in my career and there are professional fighters boxing out of the city now.
“We have a lot of good fighters up here who have shown they can compete at the top.
“A lot of people love boxing in these areas and we will try to put it in smaller halls to make it affordable for them as well.
A Makurdi High Court presided over by Justice Theresa Igoche, yesterday, fixed August 15 to rule on an application seeking an extension of the interim order restraining the impeached Speaker of the Benue State House of Assembly, Terkimbi Ikyange, and two others from parading themselves as principal officers of the Hous...
At the commencement of hearing on the matter, counsel to the trio, Mamman Osuman, brought before the court a motion of preliminary objection challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit.
In her ruling, Justice Igoche agreed Mr. Hon and adjourned the case to August 15.
Amu Power Company, a consortium that brings together Gulf Energy and Centum Investment among others, said locals would be given priority, even though the jobs will be filled on merit.
The consortium is seeking to win over Lamu leadership, amid claims by civil society activists that the coal project would damage the fragile ecosystem of the region.
The coal power plant, to be located at Kwasafi in Hindi Bay of Lamu, is expected to contribute 960 megawatts to the national grid.
The consortium of investors awarded the tender to construct a Sh174 billion coal-fired power plant in Lamu has promised to create at least 1,000 jobs in a charm offensive aimed at winning over the restive community.
“These are quality jobs we are talking about,” said Centum director Chris Kirubi on Tuesday at a media briefing in Nairobi after meeting Lamu leaders including governor Issa Timammy.
The coal power plant will utilise ocean water, which will be purified and supplied to the locals. “The desalination project is part of our corporate social responsibility in the area,” added Mr Kirubi.
In a separate meeting in Lamu, 32 civil society activists calling themselves the Save Lamu Group described the meeting as “fishy,” warning that the project could not be imposed on the residents.
“We believe the Nairobi meeting was not convened in good faith,” said Mr Khalid Ahmed of Lamu Youth Alliance.
“If indeed Amu Power is sincere why has it opted to conduct the forum in Nairobi when the project area is Lamu?
The coal plant is part of the Lamu Port South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport corridor project and is set to light up Lamu town. About 70 per cent of households in the town lack electricity.
The expected jobs spin-offs could offer huge relief to households who have borne the brunt of battered tourism — the economic mainstay at the Coast —due to terror attacks last year.
In the recent past, Kenyans have raised concern over the award of plum positions to foreigners in mega projects while sidelining locals.
Officials from the consortium sought to assure residents of their safety once the coal plant is operational amid concerns of attendant hazards such as respiratory diseases and water pollution.
They met Lamu County leaders in Nairobi for a two-day discussion on the project’s impact in the area.
Yes, all the stars of stage, screen and runway were at Lincoln Center's 2010 CFDA Fashion Awards. Yes, it's one of the biggest fashion events of the year. So why was this year's such a snoozefest?
There were disappointingly few getups at the event that made you catch your breath; Devon Aoki and Zac Posen were a pleasingly chic exception.
It's true, I'm a sucker for Alexa Chung's granny-chic...especially when most of the assembled duds are so snooze-worthy.
Michelle Trachtenberg, quietly lovely in Rebecca Taylor.
There were a few of the obligatory sparkle-togs; Alex Bledel's sleek Behnaz Sarafpour stood out.
Ashley Olsen, Sasha Pivovarova and Mary-Kate Olsen demonstrate the evening's dress code: stark black and white, with a twist.
Also typically unfussy, Harper's Bazaar's Glenda Bailey.

On to not-so-basic black: Jessica Stam in Yigal Azrouel.
Gwyneth Paltrow is polished and elegant - if not reinventing the wheel - in Michael Kors.
Iman's fishtail Giambattista Valli is on the fussy side, but since it's Iman - accessorized with the starman himself- she still rocks it.
Betsey Johnson and daughter Lulu, in their version of unembellished basics.

A stark masterpiece: the man, the legend, the Quinto.
When the fashions are this safe, Hana Soukupova's tree-ear-like embroidery gains points for innovation, at least.
I kind of love how Kate and Laura Mulleavy, the toasts of the town behind Rodarte, are frequently not afraid to look both shleppy and pissed off.
Allison Pill does a kimono-esque take on the evening's color-palette mandate.
Irina Lazareanu, per usual, gives things a rather gratuitous hipster twist. Personally, I think the Philip Lim would have been statement enough on its own. But whatever, she's a scenester.
The world's ostrich population will breathe a sigh of relief when the feather craze - as modeled by Rachel Roy - dies out.
Dakota Fanning shows that "bridal" is still going weirdly strong.
Dree Hemingway marries whites, le smoking, and a dash of kookiness. The result is...somewhat incoherent.
While most of the assembly was a sea of Rorshach, there were bright spots, like Kate Mara's tomato-hued mini.

Those XDA developers can do the most wonderful things, and today they've done something wonderful yet again. They've decided to bake a complete build of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to the original Motorola Droid, which is the company's most popular Android-based device.
A reader of Droid-Life has reported that with his flashed Droid that the ROM is very functional, and that only the camera seems to be either slow, or doesn't work. One other feature missing is Google Now, but I'm sure that you could forgive Google Now, and be content with Jelly Bean on the Droid.
There's some instructions and a download link, right here.
In celebration of James R. Whittemore's life, family and friends held Jimbo's Fun Run and Walk at Bristol Plymouth Regional Technical High School Saturday.
About 114 people participated in the 5K or 3.1 mile road race, which began at 10 a.m. near the Hart Street entrance of the high school.
Jimmy, as his family and friends called him, was a 17-year-old honor roll student at B-P High who was electrocuted at a construction site in Marshfield on July 26. He left behind his older siblings, Tommy and Ashley, and his parents, Billy and Lisa Whittemore.
Jimmy's sister, Ashley Whittemore, kicked off the road race by singing the National Anthem.
Darlene Whittemore, Jimmy's aunt, led the pack of runners and walkers on her bicycle down a route that included Hart Street, Williams Street, Colonial Street, Paul Revere Terrace, and then a loop around back to the high school.
The first-time event was organized by Jimmy's mother, Lisa Whittemore, and her sister-in-law, Darlene Whittemore.
�I'm a runner. When Jimmy died on July 26, I ran the Carver 5 mile on July 28. Just before the gun went off, I thought 'Wow, I could do this for Jimmy.' And that's pretty much what inspired me. I've done a lot of memorial races. I never thought I'd be planning one in my lifetime,� said Darlene Whittemore, who lives in ...
The race was timed by Colonial Runners, and many local businesses were generous with their sponsorship of the event, said Whittemore.
At the end of the race, trophies were awarded to the top-three male and top-three female finishers. Medals were awarded to the top finishers in each age group division.
T-shirts were given to all participants, and refreshments that included water, bagels, and fruit, were served afterward.
Race participants included many members of Jimmy's large extended family, as well as students and teachers from B-P High.
Carolyn Pearson, principal of B-P High School, said students at the high school played a large role in helping out with the event.
Fran Kotak, 54, and his wife of 31 years, Peggy, both participated in the road race as walkers.
�Jimmy was my son's best friend. I got to know Jimmy pretty well,� said Fran Kotak, of Taunton.
Bristol-Plymouth senior, Emma Donohoe, 17, was Jimmy's girlfriend for more than a year and a half.
�I ran just to support his scholarship fund and for him. He was a great kid and everyone loved him. This shows how much people cared about him,� said Donohoe.
Lisa Whittemore, Jimmy's mother, said all of the money raised will go toward the James R. Whittemore Scholarship Fund and the James R. Whittemore Memorial Fund.
�The memorial fund is to help pay for expenses with his headstone. I'm still deciding about the scholarship fund. I'm looking at a soccer scholarship. He was captain of the soccer team,� said Whittemore.
Whittemore said her son's favorite hobby was go-kart racing.
�He raced with his father, who used to race motor cross. He was 10-years-old when he started,� said Whittemore.
The family has planned a benefit dinner on Nov. 3, at the Columbia Cultural Center in the Myle Standish Industrial Park. Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased by contacting Lisa Whittemore at 508-922-4797 or Raquel Bogardus at 508-828-9654. All proceeds will be donated to the James R. Whittemore Scholarship Fund.

In some ways, it signals a return to a mainframe-like architecture before the rise of client-server, distribut...
