On the flip side, Foley, who turned pro back in 2013, carries a mixed record of 22 wins and five losses but has faced strong competition such as Jack Catterall recently.

Pierce O'Leary vs Darragh Foley Undercard

Conor Quinn vs Conner Kelsall Fight

  • Division/Weight: flyweight
  • Conor Quinn record: 9-0
  • Conner Kelsall record: 11-0
  • Belts at stake: Commonwealth Boxing Council Fly (vacant)

Conor Quinn will face Conner Kelsall for the vacant Commonwealth Boxing Council Fly title in the flyweight division.

Conor Quinn turned professional in 2019 and has an unbeaten record of 9 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw with 6 knockouts. His last match was a knockout win against Jemsi Kibazange, who had a much less favorable record (20-10-3). Given Quinn's series of victories against varying opponents, his aggressive style suggests he could pose a significant challenge to Kelsall based on performance consistency and power.

Conner Kelsall also turned professional in 2020 with an undefeated record of 11 wins and significant experience over 53 rounds, but with only one victory by knockout. His most recent win came by points against Luke Fash, who has a largely adverse record (3-106-3). Kelsall's success against less challenging opponents indicates this fight might test his abilities more seriously, especially against Quinn’s knockout prowess.

Pierce O'Leary vs Darragh Foley Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-lightweight
  • Pierce O'Leary record: 14-0
  • Darragh Foley record: 22-5
  • Belts at stake: WBC International Super Light

Pierce O'Leary faces Darragh Foley for the WBC International Super Light title.

Pierce O'Leary, undefeated with a record of 14-0, turned pro in 2019 and has finished over half his fights by knockout. His recent victory over Hovhannes Martirosyan, a strong opponent with a 16-1 record, showcased O'Leary's knockout power. Against Foley's diverse experience and southpaw stance, O'Leary's aggressive style and power could play a crucial role.

Darragh Foley holds a record of 22-5-1 and went professional in 2013. Despite his recent loss to Jack Catterall by unanimous decision, Foley has faced tough competitors and gained significant experience. He previously capitalized on this against Robbie Davies Jr., indicating he knows how to handle pressure and adapt strategies effectively. With his experience and southpaw advantage, Foley could leverage his strategic acumen against O’Leary’s less seasoned approach.

Colm Murphy vs Jack Turner Fight

  • Division/Weight: featherweight
  • Colm Murphy record: 11-0
  • Jack Turner record: 6-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Colm Murphy faces Jack Turner in a featherweight bout.

Colm Murphy turned pro in 2021 and has maintained an undefeated record with 11 wins, showcasing notable knockout power at 30% KO rate. His recent win against Tampela Maharusi (10-6-4) by points suggests he handles experienced fighters well. Facing Turner, who recently faced a loss, should play to Murphy’s strength, as his consistent performance against tougher opponents could give him an advantage.

Jack Turner debuted in 2019 and holds a record of 6 wins against 1 loss with no knockouts. The recent fight saw him lose by TKO to Andy Tham (6-2-0), indicating potential vulnerabilities when under heavy pressure. Given Murphy's undefeated streak and stronger track record, Turner might find this match challenging but has the opportunity to leverage his experience from closer bouts to make strategic plays.

James McGivern vs Rashid Omar Fight

  • Division/Weight: lightweight
  • James McGivern record: 8-0
  • Rashid Omar record: 6-0
  • Belts at stake: Boxing Union of Ireland Celtic Light

James McGivern and Rashid Omar will compete for the Boxing Union of Ireland Celtic Light belt in the lightweight division.

James McGivern turned professional in 2020 and holds a record of 8 wins, with 2 knockouts. His last victory was a unanimous decision against Josh Sandford, a super light fighter with some losses. Going against Rashid Omar, who has a similar undefeated streak but less experience, McGivern might leverage his higher level of prior competition to control the bout.

Rashid Omar began his professional career in 2022 and stands undefeated at 6-0, securing one knockout. The most recent win was a knockout against Miguel Zamora who had more losses than wins. While this shows Omar's ability to finish fights, facing James McGivern, who has fought and defeated more skilled opponents based on records, could challenge his current winning streak.

Jadier Herrera vs Andres Navarrete Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-featherweight
  • Jadier Herrera record: 14-0
  • Andres Navarrete record: 11-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Jadier Herrera will face Andres Navarrete in a super-featherweight clash.

Jadier Herrera, undefeated with 14 wins and 12 by knockout since his pro debut in 2021, last knocked out Mariano Jorge Bertola. Bertola had a weaker record (8-1-1) without knockouts, suggesting Herrera should handle Navarrete easily due to his superior power and flawless record in the same weight class.

Andres Navarrete has a record of 11-1, with only two knockouts. His most recent victory was a unanimous decision against Omar Cuello, who has been defeated more frequently. Given Navarrete's lower knockout rate compared to Herrera, he might find it challenging to overcome Herrera’s aggressive style.

Nelson Birchall vs Kevin Trana Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-featherweight
  • Nelson Birchall record: 3-0
  • Kevin Trana record: 15-16
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Nelson Birchall faces Kevin Trana in a super-featherweight bout.

Nelson Birchall, who turned pro in December 2023, holds an undefeated record of 3-0 with one knockout. He recently defeated Naeem Ali by points in April 2024. Despite Ali's extensive but largely unsuccessful fighting history, Birchall's performance suggests he can handle experienced fighters, setting a favorable stage for his matchup against Trana who has lost his last three fights.

Kevin Trana, a more seasoned fighter since January 2018, brings a mixed record of 15-16-3 with 9 knockouts. His recent loss was by points to Cristian Zara in June 2024. Comparing Zara’s solid record to Birchall's limited experience might indicate that Birchall could struggle, yet given Trana's recent form and pattern of losses, the odds may lean slightly towards Birchall capitalizing on Trana's vulnerabilities.

Steven Cairns vs Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira Fight

  • Division/Weight: lightweight
  • Steven Cairns record: 7-0
  • Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira record: 6-10
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Steven Cairns faces Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira in a lightweight bout.

Steven Cairns, an undefeated professional since 2021 with a record of 7-0, has an impressive 60% KO rate. His last victory was against Marian Wesolowski, a significantly less experienced and heavier opponent from the super welter division. Given Steven's streak and experience against weaker opposition, he holds an advantage against Jonatas, who struggles against more established fighters.

Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira has an experience marked by challenges with a record of 6-10. Despite a strong KO rate of 80%, his recent losses against undefeated lighter fighters highlight vulnerabilities in adapting his power across bouts. His struggle against consistently skilled fighters will likely challenge him when facing the precision and form of Cairns, who has consistently outperformed his opponents in the lightweight division.

Nicola Barke vs Kerry Haley Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-lightweight
  • Nicola Barke record: 4-0
  • Kerry Haley record: 2-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Nicola Barke faces Kerry Haley in a super-lightweight bout. No titles are on the line.

Nicola Barke, unbeaten with a record of 4-0, turned pro in 2021 and has remained active until 2023. Her last win was against Laura Reoyo, who had less experience and fewer wins. Considering Barke's consistent performance against lower-ranked opponents and her experience in a lighter weight class, she might find Haley's similar fighting style manageable but challenging as they have shared an opponent with varied results.

Kerry Haley sports a 2-1 professional record, turning pro slightly later in 2022. Her defeat came from Vaida Masiokaite, an opponent Barke previously defeated by points. This fact might give Barke a psychological edge over Haley. However, considering both fighters have faced similar challenges and transitioned their careers around the same time without knockout power, expect a strategy-focused match driven by technique rather than power.

Jack Turner vs Darwing Martinez Fight

  • Division/Weight: bantamweight
  • Jack Turner record: 6-0
  • Darwing Martinez record: 8-20
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Jack Turner will face Darwing Martinez in a bantamweight class bout with no titles on the line.

Jack Turner, a pro since 2023 from the United Kingdom, holds an undefeated record of 6-0 with all his wins coming by knockout. His recent victory against Abdul Kesi Ngaoma, who had more experience and a decent knockout rate, showcases Jack's power and caliber. Given his record of facing opponents with varied records and consistently delivering knockouts, he seems well-prepared to take on someone like Martinez.

Darwing Martinez turned professional in 2018 and has an uneven record of 8 wins, 20 losses, and 2 draws with a knockout rate of 75%. His last bout was a defeat by knockout to Andrew Cain, indicating vulnerabilities against tight offensive fighters. The experience from multiple fights may provide him resilience, yet facing a high-caliber knockout artist such as Turner demonstrates an uphill battle for him in maintaining defense.

Eoghan Lavin vs Artjom Spatar Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-welterweight
  • Eoghan Lavin record: 1-0
  • Artjom Spatar record: 4-8
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Eoghan Lavin faces Artjom Spatar in a super-welterweight bout.

Eoghan Lavin, only recently pro since April 2024, has fought and won his debut match against Vasif Mamedov through points. Though Mamedov's record reflects an experienced yet largely unsuccessful fighter, Lavin showed promise. Considering Spatar has more experience but less impressive stats, Lavin might have the upper hand due to his fresh energy and resilience.

Artjom Spatar turned professional back in January 2023 and has a fight record with mixed outcomes including one knockout. His recent loss to Stephen Clarke suggests challenges in facing newcomers. However, given his longer career span and slightly better knockout rate compared to Lavin’s previous opponent, Spatar could leverage his ring experience here for a competitive challenge against Lavin.

Joe Cooper vs John Henry Mosquera Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-welterweight
  • Joe Cooper record: 0-0
  • John Henry Mosquera record: 5-13
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Joe Cooper is set to fight John Henry Mosquera in a super-welterweight class bout.

Joe Cooper is making his professional debut on June 28, 2024, with no previous fights or records. He faces John Henry Mosquera, who holds extensive ring experience. Cooper could find this match challenging due to Mosquera's superior experience and earlier exposure to higher competition levels.

John Henry Mosquera, entering the ring with a record of 5 wins, 13 losses, and a 20% KO rate since turning pro in 2019. His recent fight ended in a retirement loss against Daniel Francis, an undefeated fighter similar in stance and weight category to Joe Cooper. However, considering his history of losses against strong opponents, Mosquera might struggle handling newcomers like Cooper who present unexpected strategies.

Walter Fury vs Vasif Mamedov Fight

  • Division/Weight: super-welterweight
  • Walter Fury record: 0-0
  • Vasif Mamedov record: 3-52
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Walter Fury will face Vasif Mamedov in a super-welterweight clash, with no titles on the line.

Walter Fury is making his professional debut. He enters the ring as a fresh fighter with no prior bouts. Comparing him to Mamedov’s recent string of losses, mostly against fighters with more wins than losses, he might surprise us due to being an unknown factor in the ring.

Vasif Mamedov has a professional record consisting of 3 wins, 52 losses, and 5 draws. His recent fights ended unfavorably against higher-ranked opponents regarding early track records. Mamedov’s experience and resilience could play a critical role against the novice Fury, whose ability is yet untested at this level.
