Jordan Gill faces Mexico’s Emmanuel Dominguez for the WBA International Featherweight crown at the East of England Arena in Peterborough on March 2, live on Sky Sports in the UK and DAZN in the US.

The Chatteris man headlines the next instalment of the JD NXTGEN series with his first fight in his home county for five years after he stopped Ryan Doyle to claim the Commonwealth Featherweight title in October.

‘The Thrill’ looked flawless against Doyle, dominating proceedings throughout before producing an impressive stoppage in round seven to win the first title of his professional career, and the Dave Coldwell-trained talent is hungry for more titles in 2019.

—————————
Richard Riakporhe produced a stunning comeback to stop Sam Hyde in the battle of the unbeaten Cruiserweights last time out in Manchester, and the Dillian Whyte-mentored Londoner makes the first defence of his WBA Inter-Continental title against Belfast’s 12-1 Tommy McCarthy next month.

Unbeaten Indiana Super-Middleweight contender Anthony Sims Jr fights for the second time in the UK after an explosive debut in Cardiff last summer. The 23-year-old has reached 17-0 in the paid ranks with 16 of those wins coming inside the distance and is widely tipped to reach the top of the sport.

Nottingham’s Leigh Wood clashes with Ghana’s Abraham Osei Bonsu for the vacant Commonwealth Featherweight crown. ‘Leigh-thal’, a former Midlands Area Champion, is unbeaten in nine since a loss to Gavin McDonnell for the British Super-Bantamweight title.

Heavy-handed Super-Middleweight prospect John Docherty looks to make if four knockouts from four fights after impressing again on the Garcia vs. Cheeseman undercard at The O2 and Leeds Super-Bantamweight and former Team GB amateur standout Qais Ashfaq aims to go 5-0, and there’s also action on the undercard for Wisbech Super-Welterweight Joe Steed and St Ives Super-Lightweight Bradley Smith.

Riakporhe was getting beaten up before Hyde had one of the worst cuts I've ever seen. I can't see him going places unfortunately.

Oh yeh. I remember that was a nasteeee cut!

Feel it's a shame Sims jr is on this one. If you look at social media he's made himself quite popular with UK fans shame to tuck him away on this show thought they should have got him on the cheeseman or one of the other cards.

Considering how much they initially seemed to hype him I don't quite know what they're doing with him as felt he should have been on more or the American shows too. Of the yank fighters Eddie has signed he's come across with the best story etc so thought he'd be on as many shows as Miller

Who designed that poster

I don’t mind these NXTGEN cards. They turn out to be quite decent. Good to see the younger prospects get air time.. they should just put this on Sky Sports Mix.

Gill against a tough Mexican is fantastic match-making and management.

Some rounds against a tough foe, in front of a home crowd and a ranking bauble.

They are doing a good job with Gill.

He was on the deck in previous fights as well - he looked bang average against Hyde.

Whack it on Sky Sports Mix, Eddie. You know it makes sense.

I got in the arena as this fight was ending. Hype was getting bashed up from what I saw, but can't comment on the entire fight,

The Cruiserweight fight looks like the only worthwhile contest on this card.

Riakoppore chinny? He looked useless vs Hyde. McCarthy not really a puncher.
