Nathaniel Collins Aims for European Glory in Glasgow fight with Cristobal Lorente

Unbeaten Scottish featherweight Nathaniel Collins takes a major step up this Saturday night as he challenges European champion Cristobal Lorente at Glasgow’s Braehead Arena. Both fighters, aged 29, bring undefeated records into the ring—but with Collins tipped as the one with greater world-level potential, Lorente arrives from Spain determined to derail that trajectory.

The bout headlines a Frank Warren-promoted card, airing live on DAZN, with a stacked undercard full of domestic clashes and promising prospects.

Undercard Highlights

Regan Glackin vs Louie O’Doherty – Vacant British Lightweight Title

An all-action encounter is expected as two unbeaten fighters vie for the prestigious British title. Local favourite Glackin will look to harness home support, while Essex-based O’Doherty enters as the road warrior. Neither is known for knockout power, so expect a closely contested points battle.

Willy Hutchinson vs Mark Jeffers – Light-Heavyweight Clash

This is a compelling meeting of contrasting trajectories. Willy “Hutch Train” Hutchinson, fresh off a strong run at the elite level, faces Mark Jeffers, a once-promising prospect from Chorley who is now fighting to reestablish himself. Jeffers recently parted ways with Boxxer and steps into hostile territory in search of a career-defining win.

Aston Brown vs Paul Kean – Super-Welterweight Bout

Glasgow’s Aston Brown has made a habit of early stoppages, having dispatched Fearghus Quinn and Reece Porter in just two rounds combined. Dundee’s Paul Kean will need to survive the early onslaught if he hopes to change that pattern.

Names to Watch on the Undercard

The card features a string of rising stars and notable names from boxing families:

• Steve Collins Jr, son of the Irish legend, looks to rebuild momentum after three consecutive defeats, facing Spain’s Javier Santana over six rounds.

• Highly touted amateur Reese Lynch continues his transition to the pro ranks.

• Drew Limond, son of the late Willie Limond, makes his appearance alongside Alex Arthur Jr, whose father was a well-known Scottish champion.

• Yandiel Lozano-Oquendo, an 18-year-old Puerto Rican prodigy, adds international flavour.

• Power-punching super-bantamweight Marcus Sutherland and debutant John Joe Carrigan from Carlisle round out the bill.
