Former UFC star Molly McCann returns to the ring on Saturday, February 21, on the undercard of the rematch between Leigh Wood and Josh Warrington.
The bill is at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham, Wood’s hometown., and McCann, who turned pro as a boxer last year at junior featherweight, said: “I cannot wait to fight on the Wood-Warrington II undercard,” said the Liverpool woman.
“I know how amazing both sets of fans are. Trust me, the atmosphere at the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham is going to be absolutely electric. I’m looking forward to sharing the rest of the card with some incredible fighters. But, mainly, I’m very excited to show how much I have levelled up since my last fight and get this massive year off to a good start. It’s huge for me.”
Also on the bill, Ishamel Davis – 15-3 (6 KOs) – makes the first defense of his British 154lbs against new Matchroom recruit Bilal Fawaz, 10-1-1 (3 KOs).
Fawaz defeated Junaid Boston – 10-1-1 (8 KOs) – last time out, and Boston also appears on the Nottingham bill as does heavyweight veteran Dave Allen, 24-8-2 (19 KOs) as he returns from his loss to Arslanbek Makhmudov.
Derby’s Sandy Ryan, 8-3-1 (3 KOs), boxes on the bill against Mexican Karla Ramos Zamora, who is 12-10-2 (4 KOs), for the vacant WBC title at junior welterweight and hot bantamweight prospect Tiah-Mai Ayton, 4-0 (4 KOs,) squares off with Brazil’s Catherine Tacone Ramos, 9-3-1 (2 KOs).
