Press Release

Matchroom’s first NXTGEN card of the year at the Utilita Arena Newcastle features some of the very best prospects in the North East looking to take the next steps in their promising careers. Former Team GB standout Cyrus Pattinson (5-0, 3 KOs) faces his toughest test so far in the professional ranks against Wales’ former British Welterweight Champion Chris Jenkins (23-6-3, 8 KOs) while Tokyo 2020 Olympic Silver Medallist turned Welterweight prospect Pat McCormack (3-0, 2 KOs) looks to wow his home crowd against Italy’s Dario Socci (15-7-2, 6 KOs) in his first scheduled eight-round contest. Also on the card, Birmingham’s Solomon Dacres (5-0, 1 KO) squares off with Newcastle’s Robert Ismay (11-0, 4 KOs) for the English Heavyweight Title.

Press Release

Former Team GB standout Cyrus Pattinson (5-0, 3 KOs) faces his toughest test so far in the professional ranks against Wales’ former British welterweight champion Chris Jenkins (23-6-3, 8 KOs) – with the pair clashing for the vacant WBA International title.

"I'm absolutely buzzing to be fighting in Newcastle on March 18," said Pattinson. "2023 is a huge year for me and to be kicking it off by fighting in front of a home crowd in unreal. Nobody creates an atmosphere like the Geordies and I’m determined to put on a show for them in what is the biggest fight of my career so far. I cannot wait."


Alnwick’s Pattinson hasn’t put a foot wrong since turning over in Newcastle back in June 2021, winning all five of his contests - with three coming by way of knockout – and the 28-year-old southpaw picked up the vacant IBO Continental Title last time out in Nottingham.

Jenkins believes there are holes that he can take advantage of.

"A win that I’m more than capable of come March 18 would most definitely put me back in the mix," said Jenkins. "Winning a title means I have value in the sport and I’ll move on and fight who ever wants it. I’m an old school fighter, I’ll fight anyone!

"I’m expecting Cyrus to come out of the blocks like he always does and I’ll be ready for him. He looks a good come forward fighter, he does most things well but I’ve seen a few flaws in his fighting that I think I can use in the fight."

Good fight and step up.

These NextGen cards are decent but should only be in addition to the 16/18 other big shows a year we were expecting to get.

I said on another thread.

Matchroom will probably do a lot more of these. Give prospects their own headline shows instead on having them on bigger undercards. expect Campbell Hatton to headline these in future.

jenkins eyes a mess

Jenkins spent his peaking waiting for opportunities and now they are queuing up to have him as an opponent as he is on the slide.

Worst Matchroom card since 2 days ago.

Birtley Boys coming through. They’ve even got two amateurs in the elite squad now as well. Graeme Rutherford has to be the best trainer in the country.

Its a shame this isnt a Friday night card. Would have tuned in to parts if it was.

Jenkins is getting past his best but if Pattinson was to pull this off it I'd be impressed and it wouldnt take him far off a shot at the British or Commonwealth
