Press Release

Lee McGregor and Isaac Lowe are primed to deliver an all-British barnstormer, when they collide on December 1 live and free-to-air on Channel 5.

The featherweights clash for the WBO European title at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, Bolton in the headline fight of a Wasserman Boxing show.

And in the co-main event at ‘High Stakes’, flyweight Chloe Watson meets France’s Justine Lallemand in a battle for the prestigious European title.

Delivered in association with Ladbrokes, Numan and Infinitum Entertainment, McGregor vs Lowe is a fight that will captivate British boxing fans with a place in the WBO world rankings the prize for the winner.

McGregor returns after losing a fight of the year contender against Erik Robles for the IBO world title, while Lowe – cousin of heavyweight king Tyson Fury - is rebuilding after a punishing defeat to Nick Ball last year.

December 1 is also set to be a breakout night for Watson as the future of female fighting in Britain, can claim her maiden title as a professional.

Lee McGregor said: “I like what I’ve been hearing from Isaac because he’s going to come and have a go on December 1. But I will out-box and out-fight him. I’m moving up to featherweight and I am going to be so strong.

“In my last fight against Robles, I was nowhere near 100% and the people close to me know the reasons for that. I could’ve taken the rematch, but I know I would not be giving a true reflection of myself if I did. This is a big fight and one the fans will like. After this win, it won’t be long before I am challenging for big titles again.

“Isaac, you are going to get the best version of me. You have been warned.”

Isaac Lowe said: “This is a great fight for the fans. We are going to punch the living daylights out of each other for 30 minutes – that's if Lee can last the 10 rounds.

“The people around him think I’m past it and over the hill but there’s no way Lee is beating a fully fit and focused Isaac Lowe.

“I can mix it with the best and Lee won’t be able to cope with me on December 1. I punch a lot harder than any of the guys he’s been with before. Lee, what are you going to do when you lose to me?!”

Kalle Sauerland, Head of Global Boxing at Wasserman Boxing, said: “McGregor vs Lowe has ‘British classic’ written all over it!

“This is the highest stakes for both men, with world title aspirations, pride and national honour all on the line and so it has all the ingredients to be yet another fight of the year contender, live and free on Channel 5.

“December 1 is also a huge night for Chloe Watson who gets the chance to prove why so many people believe she is the future of the female code in this country by becoming European Champion - and the first female from Birkenhead to do so. Winning the European title will be a huge step towards superstardom but trust me when I say that Lallemand is not coming over just to make up the numbers.”

Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes commented: “Lee McGregor is on a redemption mission after suffering his first defeat last time out and the odds very much favour him to bounce back to winning ways against Isaac Lowe on December 1.

“It has all the ingredients to be an enthralling contest, but we believe McGregor has that bit more skill and power to come out on top.”

[SeanBrennan]

looking forward to this. Lee's career has gone so quiet. I do like channel 5 I just wish they'd show fuller cards.

Press Release | Nathan Gorman, Roman Fury Added To December 1 Card

Heavyweight contender Nathan Gorman goes straight back in at the deep end when he faces Ukrainian Bohdan Myronets on December 1, live and free-to-air on Channel 5.

Gorman returns to the ring for the first time since last year’s three-round shoot-out for the British title with Fabio Wardley, after a training injury to Lee McGregor has forced his clash with Isaac Lowe to be rearranged.

The highly anticipated WBO European title showdown between McGregor and Lowe will now take place, early in the New Year.

But the bumper Wasserman Boxing show in Bolton, delivered in association with Ladbrokes, Numan and Infinitum Entertainment, goes on – and now with a heavyweight humdinger on the card as Gorman and Byronets collide.

And Roman Fury, fresh from his brutal stoppage win in Brighton live on Channel 5 last week, is also in action at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Friday, December 1.

The European flyweight title fight between the ferocious Chloe Watson and Justine Lallemand headlines this pre-Christmas cracker, with the big-punching match-up between Gorman and Myronets also showcased live on free-to-air television.

Myronets stunned Kash Ali in Edinburgh in the summer and now he wants to add Gorman to his list of UK scalps.

Kalle Sauerland, Global Head of Boxing at Wasserman Boxing, said: “We’re so disappointed for Lee because he was looking in great shape ahead of this cracker of a fight with Lowe.

“But the contest will still go ahead, early in the New Year, when Lee is fit and firing again, and it will be worth the wait I can guarantee you that.

“In its place for our December 1 show in Bolton, live on Channel 5, comes the return of Nathan Gorman, who goes into a tough, tough fight with Bohdan Myronets.

“This a heavy-duty, big-punching match-up that will not be for the faint-hearted, so make sure you tune-in.

“And it supports a brilliant showdown for the European flyweight title as the future of women’s boxing, Chloe Watson, takes on Justine Lallemand.

“We’ve also got Roman Fury, Dan Toward, Codie Smith and many more on a bumper show in Bolton!”

Brilliant amateur Toward makes his professional debut in Bolton, the electric Smith looks to finish his first year as a pro in style, while James Moorcroft meets Matthew Rennie in a fight that is guaranteed to deliver.

The massive card is also packed with an array of talent, including Adbul Khan, the cousin of British boxing great Amir, Nelson Birchall, Ted Jackson and Immad Naseeb.

[SeanBrennan]

shaping up well, looks like Wasserman are sticking by Gorman. Could be a career ender if he loses, the guy can't be too shabby, he upset Ali who is no world beater but had a bit.

hope channel 5 show a proper card and don't start it at 10pm forever.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeh they let themselves down here.

I know previously we’ve had some YouTube or Sun Sport coverage.

Wasserman should show on their YouTube if that’s the case.

A 9pm start shouldn’t hurt either.

They just seem way too late.

totally. Would be great if Wasserman put the whole card, I'm ok with no commentary either if it's a cost issue, just love watching a full card in proper order.

Doh

[Ruthless-RKO]

[Ruthless-RKO]

Fight Week!!

[SeanBrennan]

[handsofstone]

Pretty sure Gorman's headlining now

Yeh I quite like Gorman as well, looks good when letting his hands go, he'll do well to win a British but I like watching him

me too, really hope he gets in shape and does as well as he can. would love him to win a title.

[SeanBrennan]

Undercard is on now https://www.youtube.com/@wassermanboxing668

second fight I think, only just realised they were showing it

I think Lowe's opponent has pulled out though - not sure if he is still on bill

[SeanBrennan]

it's not that weird undercard showing with no commentary though, commentators are good on this so far. Lee Mcgregor commentating, decent voice for commentating and really informed, seems like his shoulder's knackered hence pulling out.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Cards fallen apart

[SeanBrennan]

I am no looker but Isaac's an odd looking chap isn't he. Really immature comment from me but he really is a strange looking chap

[jwfg]

Gorman's come in at about forty five stone.

[SeanBrennan]

Codie Smith brought in an African to get beat up. Tapfuma just knocked him down, love it when they don't read the script. Come on Tapfuma!!

[SeanBrennan]

Gorman's come in at about forty five stone.

you know its bad when they keep their top on, think he's 21 stone. Terrible, no discipline
