Ahead of the highly anticipated NXTGN Liverpool event tomorrow night, Peter McGrail (8-1, 5 KOs) and Marc Leach (18-3-1, 4 KOs) have successfully hit the 122-pound mark during their weigh-in session, signaling readiness for their headline bout in Liverpool, England.
Liverpool’s own McGrail stepped onto the scale at 121.8 pounds, while Salford’s Leach registered at 121.2 pounds, both meeting the required weight limit.
The clash will feature the WBA international super bantamweight title up for grabs, with the added stakes of serving as a final eliminator for Dennis McCann’s coveted British title.
Leach enters the fray as a replacement for Ja’Rico O’Quinn, who withdrew due to personal reasons. O’Quinn notably secured a stunning fifth-round knockout victory over McGrail, dealing him his sole professional defeat last December.
