SUPER-BANTAMWEIGHT Peter McGrail secured a crucial victory in his 10th professional fight last night (April 27) in Liverpool against Marc Leach.
McGrail, a former amateur medalist, was signed by Matchroom Boxing in February 2023 with high expectations of him becoming a future world champion.
The “Scouse Lomachenko” faced a setback in his last fight against Ja’Rico O’Quinn in America, but bounced back with a decisive victory in Liverpool last night. Despite the pressure to win, McGrail delivered a strong performance and never looked in danger of losing.
With this win, there are several potential opponents for McGrail’s next fight as suggested by Boxing News.
Ja’Rico O’Quinn 17-1-1 (9)
O’Quinn is obligated to face McGrail in a rematch, giving McGrail a chance for redemption after their last encounter. Will McGrail seek revenge or move on from O’Quinn? The decision rests on their upcoming bout.
Dennis McCann 15-0-1 (8)
The British super-bantamweight champion, McCann, presents a challenging matchup for McGrail. With both fighters aiming for the top, this fight could be a defining moment for their careers.
TJ Doheny 25-4 (19)
Doheny, a former IBF super-bantamweight world champion, brings a wealth of experience to the ring. A victory against Doheny would be a significant boost for McGrail’s professional record.
Ionut Baluta 16-4-1 (3)
Baluta, known for his toughness and skills, poses a challenge for any opponent. McGrail would need to be at his best to handle Baluta and make a statement in the super-bantamweight division.
Erik Robles 15-2 (9)
The hard-working Mexican, Robles, is a formidable opponent who recently lost his IBO strap. Facing Robles would test McGrail’s endurance and skills over the duration of the fight.
