Scotter aiming to follow in footsteps of cousin Ingle
Scotter, 26, will fight at super middleweight and joins Shaun Ireland, George Rhodes and George Horner in the paid ranks and is the latest in the line of many pro boxers from Scarborough aiming to follow in the footsteps of the great Paul Ingle.
The former Scarborough ABC man is Ingle’s cousin and is aiming to use that to motivate him going forward.

Former Scarborough ABC man Scotter can’t wait to get going in the pro game.
He added: “Turning pro is something I have always wanted to do and now seems a good time to do it with the other lads doing so well.
“I’ve been training with Mick Brondby in Hull and he took me to see Stefy Bull, who is obviously looking after Shaun, and it went from there.

Scotter has good amateur pedigree and is aiming to take that into the paid ranks.
“I got to the final of the ABAs but lost to Frank Buglioni at Stamford Bridge, who has gone on to challenge for a world title, so I know I can mix it with some good fighters,” added Scotter.
Bull said: “I’ve heard good things about Jamie, and it’s exciting times for boxing in Scarborough with another lad turning pro.
