Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall Undercard
Josh Taylor faces Jack Catterall in a super-lightweight rematch with no titles on the line.
Josh Taylor vs Jack Catterall Fight
- Division/Weight: super-lightweight
- Josh Taylor record: 19-1
- Jack Catterall record: 28-1
- Belts at stake: N/A
Josh Taylor turned pro in 2015 and boasts a 19-1 record with a 68.42% KO rate. He lost his last match against Teofimo Lopez, who shares similar stats including experience and KO power. This close parity suggests Taylor might find more success against Catterall, whom he narrowly beat before and shares comparable physical stats.
Jack Catterall, also a southpaw, became professional in 2012. His record stands at 28 wins, 1 loss. He won his last fight against veteran Jorge Linares but faced defeat against Taylor in their previous bout. Given his consistent performance against high-caliber fighters like Taylor, Catterall is expected to leverage his experience for a competitive rematch showing.
Cheavon Clarke vs Ellis Zorro Fight
Cheavon Clarke faces Ellis Zorro for the vacant BBBofC British Cruiser title.
- Division/Weight: cruiserweight
- Cheavon Clarke record: 8-0
- Ellis Zorro record: 17-1
- Belts at stake: BBBofC British Cruiser (vacant)
Cheavon Clarke turned pro in 2022 and has a fight record of 8 wins, 0 losses, and 0 draws, with 6 wins by knockout. He previously defeated Tommy McCarthy, who had a substantial number of bouts, suggesting Clarke handles experienced fighters well. Zorro's recent loss may imply that Clarke has a psychological edge in this matchup due to his undefeated streak and ability to take down seasoned opponents.
Ellis Zorro started his professional career in 2017 and boasts a record of 17 wins, 1 loss, and no draws with 7 knockouts. His defeat to Jai Opetaia indicates he can be vulnerable against powerful hitters. Given Clarke’s high knockout percentage and direct conquests over formidable adversaries, Zorro needs to be cautious and tighten his defense against assertive attackers like Clarke.
Gary Cully vs Francesco Patera Fight
Gary Cully will face Francesco Patera in a non-title lightweight bout.
- Division/Weight: lightweight
- Gary Cully record: 17-1
- Francesco Patera record: 29-4
- Belts at stake: N/A
Gary Cully turned pro in 2017 and has compiled a record of 17 wins, 1 loss, with 10 KOs. His last fight was a split decision win against Reece Mould who had a lower KO rate (33.33%) compared to Cully (58.82%). Considering Francesco Patera's higher fight count but lower KO rate (37.93%), Cully might leverage his punching power to control the match despite the experience gap.
Francesco Patera became professional in 2012 and holds a record of 29 wins and 4 losses, with 11 KOs. He recently knocked out Carlos Sandoval, an opponent with a weaker record. Faced against Gary Cully who has a more comparable level and KO strength, Patera could face challenges due to his relatively lower knockout ability and might rely on his greater experience and endurance through more total rounds fought (213).
Paddy Donovan vs Lewis Ritson Fight
Paddy Donovan will face Lewis Ritson in a non-title welterweight bout.
- Division/Weight: welterweight
- Paddy Donovan record: 13-0
- Lewis Ritson record: 23-3
- Belts at stake: N/A
Paddy Donovan, known as "The Real Deal," turned professional in 2019 and has maintained an undefeated record of 13 wins with no losses, knocking out 10 opponents. His last fight was a TKO victory over Williams Andres Herrera, who had a weaker knockout rate (43.75%) compared to Donovan's impressive 76.92%. Facing Ritson, who has recently fought in a lower weight class, suggests an advantage for Donovan due to his striking power and recent form in the welterweight class.
Lewis Ritson, also called "Sandman," began his professional career in 2015 but has been inactive recently with a record of 23 wins and three losses, securing 13 knockouts. His most recent bout ended in a KO loss to Ohara Davies, who carries a higher knockout percentage than Ritson. Transitioning back from super lightweight to face Donovan might challenge Ritson, particularly given his past vulnerabilities against strong punchers like Davies and now up against the formidable Donovan.
George Liddard vs Graham McCormack Fight
George Liddard faces Graham McCormack in a middleweight bout.
- Division/Weight: middleweight
- George Liddard record: 6-0
- Graham McCormack record: 9-3
- Belts at stake: N/A
George Liddard, a pro since 2022 with an undefeated record of 6-0 and half of those wins by knockout, exhibits swift climbing strength within the middleweight division. His recent unanimous decision win over Andrew Buchanan, a competent but less experienced fighter, positions him favorably against McCormack given his consistent performance and power.
Graham McCormack began his professional journey in 2017 and stands at 9-3-1 with a modest KO percentage of 11.11%. Drawing his last match against Octavian Gratii suggests inconsistencies that might disadvantage him when facing the more consistently victorious Liddard. The southpaw's agility may introduce variability but is up against strong opposition this time.
Giorgio Visioli vs Sergio Odabai Fight
Giorgio Visioli faces Sergio Odabai in a super-featherweight bout.
- Division/Weight: super-featherweight
- Giorgio Visioli record: 2-0
- Sergio Odabai record: 6-3
- Belts at stake: N/A
Giorgio Visioli turned professional in 2023, boasting a record of 2 wins, both by knockouts. His last fight saw him defeat Samuel Pikire, who held a less stellar record but considerable experience. Given this performance and Visioli's consistent knockout rate, he comes into the fight with significant momentum against Odabai.
Sergio Odabai, with a professional record since 2021 of 6 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw, and half of his wins by knockout, faced a close match in his last outing against Michel Gonxhe. Considering his mixed recent performance and lower knockout rate compared to Visioli's perfect record, Odabai faces a tough challenge but brings more ring experience to the battle.
Emmanuel Buttigieg vs Anas Isarti Fight
Emmanuel Buttigieg faces Anas Isarti in a super-welterweight clash.
- Division/Weight: super-welterweight
- Emmanuel Buttigieg record: 3-0
- Anas Isarti record: 4-2
- Belts at stake: N/A
Emmanuel Buttigieg turned pro in December 2023 and holds an undefeated record of three wins, with one by knockout. His most recent victory was against Bartlomiej Stryczek in March 2024, winning by points. Considering the experience of his last opponent compared to Isarti's recent competitions, Buttigieg might find this bout more challenging due to Isarti's higher fight count despite their similar win ratios.
Anas Isarti, with a professional trajectory starting in May 2022, has a record of four wins and two losses without knockouts. His last win came from a unanimous decision against Ricardo Pompeo Mellone in January 2024. Facing Buttigieg, who has fought less experienced opponents relatively new to the professional circuit, could give Isarti an edge in leveraging his slightly more extensive ring experience despite having fought similar calibers of opponents recently.
