Willie Limond (2 February 1979) is a Glasgow-born professional boxer. He is the current IBO Inter-Continental champion, and the former Commonwealth Lightweight Champion.
He is trained by Peter Harrison, father of fellow-Scottish boxer Scott Harrison.
Limond lost the Commonwealth Lightweight title to Amir Khan in the 8th round on July 14, 2007. He had knocked Khan down earlier in the fight but ultimately failed to defeat the 2004 Olympic Silver medallist Khan.
However, he defeated Martin Watson for the vacant IBO Inter-Continental title on 29th March 2008 on a unanimous points decision, which placed him back in the reckoning for a world title fight.
He will now fight Graham Earl on June 14th 2008 in Glasgow in a final eliminator for the IBO World Title.
