Nathan Heaney will be looking to keep his unbeaten streak alive by defending his British title against Brad Pauls. Let’s not beat around the bush; this isn’t Heaney’s first rodeo. With a solid 18-0 record and coming off a win that’s definitely worth writing home about, he’s eyeing a world title shot like it’s the last piece of cake. Pauls, on the flip side, isn’t here to play games either. Despite a hiccup against Tyler Denny last year, he’s bounced back like a good boxer should, making this fight one to watch.
Then there’s the co-feature where Liam Davies is set to fight Erik Robles Ayala. Davies, with his eyes set on a world title shot, has been knocking out competition left and right, quite literally. Ayala, having pulled off an upset against Lee McGregor, isn’t going to be a walk in the park either.
Adding a bit more flavor to the night, Joe Joyce makes a comeback in a 10-rounder against Kash Ali. Remember Joyce? The Olympic silver medalist with a knack for making noise in the heavyweight division? Yeah, that guy. He’s back and probably has something to prove.
As if that wasn’t enough, Queensberry Promotions decided to stream this entire fiesta live. So, for those who prefer the comfort of their couch, ESPN+ has got you covered.
