Undercard highlights
Unbeaten Super-Lightweight Jack Catterall (21-0, 12 KOs) puts his WBO Inter-Continental Title on the line in a mouth-watering bout with Tyrone McKenna (16-0-1, 6 KOs) on the undercard.
McKenna was slated to face Phil Sutcliffe Jr but the Dublin man suffered an injury. Far from complaining about facing such a high-quality replacement at four weeks’ notice, home fighter McKenna has welcomed the opportunity to pit his wits against a former sparring partner.
