Marc Leach, the once-crowned British Super-Bantamweight king, finds himself stepping into the ring against Peter McGrail as the headliner of Matchroom Boxing’s latest NXTGEN spectacle, set in the heart of Liverpool at the Exhibition Centre, on a Saturday evening that promises fireworks. The global broadcast will be streamed live on DAZN.
Liverpool’s own McGrail, with a record at 8-1, found himself on the harsh end of a knockout last December, a moment that stunned spectators. Poised for a swift comeback against O’Quinn, fate twisted, redirecting him to lock horns with Salford’s left-handed warrior, Leach, whose record stands at a gritty 18-3-1.
Amid the anticipation, Beatriz Ferreira, a Brazilian dynamo with amateur laurels turning heads in the pro league at 4-0, is set to duel with Argentina’s Yanina del Carmen Lescano for the vacant IBF Lightweight World Title. Ferreira, known as ‘The Beast’, seeks to add this title to her collection before setting her sights on Olympic gold in Paris.
The card brims with talent, featuring Sunderland’s welterweight prodigy Pat McCormack, who returns to the squared circle after a hiatus since July 2023, against Argentina’s William Andres Herrera for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Title. Adding to the roster, Rotherham’s Junaid Bostan and Southminster’s Jack Martin vie for the English Title, with the Commonwealth Silver Title hanging in the balance.
The night also spotlights a slew of emerging stars, including Eltham’s Super-Flyweight hopeful Maiseyrose Courtney, Matchroom’s fresh Featherweight signee Joe McGrail, debutant Hamza Uddin from Walsall, and Liverpool’s own Lightweight Frankie Stringer.
