McGrail And Leach Make Weight Ahead Of NXTGN Liverpool

Peter McGrail Certain That KO Shock Is In The Past, Fully Focused On Leach

Paul Stevenson’s fighters are rarely involved in pre-fight shenanigans and – publicly at least – they never appear too excited by their success or too down about the disappointments. It is a trait which will have served Peter McGrail well over the past few months.

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.

Peter McGrail discusses why he wants an immediate rematch with Ja'Rico O'Quinn having suffered one of the shock losses in 2023

At the Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Saturday April 6. New York Super-Lightweight ace Richardson Hitchins (17-0, 7 KOs) looks to build on his shutout points win over Jose Zepeda at the Caribe Royal Orlando last September when he takes on Argentina’s Gustavo Daniel Lemos (29-0, 19 KOs) in a Final Eliminator for the IBF World Title.

Ja'Rico O’Quinn needed just one punch to erase a massive scorecard deficit. A counter right hand after taking a straight left hand was enough for Detroit’s O’Quinn to ruin the U..S. debut of Liverpool’s Peter McGrail, who was knocked out in the fifth round. O’Quinn was down twice and lost every round before he sent McGrail down and through the ropes to produce the end of the fight at 2:19 of the fifth round.

Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez kept everyone waiting for Friday’s weigh-in, though already after he made weight. The two-division and reigning WBO flyweight titleholder ran late for what was later revealed as the ceremonial weigh-in ahead of his unification bout versus IBF champ Sunny Edwards. Rodriguez tipped the scales at a fit 111.6 pounds, while Edwards was 111.6 pounds.

Murodjon Akhmadaliev will face Kevin Gonzalez in an eliminator for the WBA World Super-Bantamweight title as the chief support bout to the Flyweight unification blockbuster between Jesse Rodriguez and Sunny Edwards at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona on Saturday December 16, live worldwide on DAZN – with Edwards being joined by four fellow British talents on the card.

Peter McGrail methodically defeated the first unbeaten opponent Saturday night that the accomplished amateur has fought since he turned pro after representing England at the Summer Olympics in 2021.
