Jordan Gill v Enrique Tinoco: Preview
Matchroom Boxing returns to the Nottingham Arena for the first time in 6 years with a double header as Jordan Gill takes on Mexican Enrique Tinoco and Leigh Wood defends his commonwealth featherweight title against former champion Ryan Doyle.
Gill (23-0) put a career best performance last time out in Peterborough against Emmanuel Dominguez (24-8-2) and continues his push towards world level by taking on another game challenger in Tinoco (17-5-4).
Gill’s stablemate Leigh Wood (21-1) will make the first defence of his Commonwelath Featherweight Title against former champion Ryan Doyle (17-3-1).
Wood won the vacant title back in March against Abraham Bonsu and takes on a hungry Doyle who won the belt back in June last year Against Reece Bellotti before eventually dropping it to Gill.
Elsewhere on the card, heavyweight prospect Fabio Wardley (6-0) will be hoping to add another KO to his resume as he takes on German Dennis Lewandowski (13-3).
Stephen Smith (25-4) will make his long awaited return after suffering a horrific injury against Francisco Vargas back in 2017 when he takes on Des Newton with one eye on a potential match up with Martin J Ward in the summer.
Charles Frankham and Dalton Smith will be making their professional debuts alongside American prospect Raymond Ford (1-0) who will be making his first appearance in the UK.
Terri Harper (6-0) continues her impressive professional career as she takes on former world champion Claudia Andrea Lopez (25-9) for the WBC International Lightweight Title.
Chris Billam-Smith (8-0), Atif Shafiq (20-2) and Brad Daws (3-0) are all also set to feature.
