Marc Leach vs. Peter McGrail | DAZN - 27 April 2024

[Ruthless-RKO]

Press Release

Former British Super-Bantamweight Champion Marc Leach will face Peter McGrail at the top of Matchroom Boxing's latest NXTGEN show at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on Saturday April 27, live worldwide on DAZN, after McGrail's original opponent Ja'Rico O'Quinn withdrew due to personal family matters.

Liverpool's McGrail (8-1, 5 KOs) had an immediate shot at redemption against Detroit’s O’Quinn following his shock KO loss last December, but the former amateur standout will now face Salford southpaw Leach (18-3-1, 4 KOs) as he looks to return to winning ways.

Brazilian amateur star turned 4-0 professional Beatriz Ferreira takes on Argentina's Yanina del Carmen Lescano (14-3, 4 KOs) for the vacant IBF Lightweight World Title in just her fifth professional fight. 'The Beast' fights in the UK for the second time following her points win over Karla Ramos Zamora at the Utilita Arena Sheffield in July 2023, aiming to capture a World Title before turning her attention to winning Gold at the Paris 2024 games this summer.

Sunderland's rising Welterweight star Pat McCormack (5-0, 5 KOs) returns to the ring for his first fight since July 2023 to face Argentina's William Andres Herrera (16-3, 7 KOs) for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Title, while Rotherham Super-Welterweight talent Junaid Bostan (8-0, 6 KOs) faces Southminster's Jack Martin (9-1, 4 KOs) in a Final Eliminator for the English Title - with the Commonwealth Silver Title also on the line.

There's also action for Eltham Super-Flyweight prospect Maiseyrose Courtney (5-0), Matchroom's latest Featherweight signing Joe McGrail (9-0, 5 KOs), Walsall Flyweight pro debutant Hamza Uddin and Liverpool Lightweight Frankie Stringer (6-0).

Thanks Don. I like how I managed to misspell McGrail's name, then get the opponent's surname entirely wrong. Proper knowledge here.

McGrail is obviously a talent, but there are red flags about his whiskers, especially in a fight where he will get caught

me too Coco, former British champ and beat Essomba too.

McGrail has some good skills and instincts and not sure he is 'chinny' as he got hit with a wild haymaker in a fight he was cruising in.

Could have been a freak, so don't want to label him 'chinny', just yet. That said, the guy has skills. Will be interesting to see how he recovers.

Leach is much better suited to Super Bantam too, he's been up against it at Featherweight recently.

I quite like the bill, as far as these smaller, next-gen type things go. Bostan vs Martin is a good match on paper, and the guy who's fighting McCormack asked a few questions of Paddy Donovan a few months ago.

I do enjoy watching Bostan, real talent.

It’s always fascinating when a hugely hyped prospect gets shockingly knocked out, DUMBFOUNDING everyone. The best laid plans, wiped out with one shot, reminding everyone how unpredictable boxing can be ( rarely it’s true )

I saw McGrail referred to as the Scouse Lomachenko, and in that last fight he looked an absolute world beater in the making. What was particularly shocking was the final punch didn’t even look all that hard, I wouldn’t even call it a haymaker. And the getting caught cold argument is out the window.

But I didn’t take the punch, so I can’t be calling him chinny, though his team must be worried: they went from supreme confidence to what the f*ck inside 5 seconds.

This looks a very tough comeback fight, though you do notice his opponent has only got four knockouts. Good fight though, he’ll be desperate to get things right here.

FUCKINELL A BRITISH CARD THAT I MAY END UP WATCHING......

[Kilburn]
