Six months ago, Nathaniel Collins and Cristobal Lorente left Braehead Arena without a winner. Now, the rematch fight week has finally arrived.

The pair fought to a draw in their first meeting last October, with scorecards of 115-113 for Collins, 115-113 for Lorente and 114-114, leaving plenty of unfinished business heading into Friday’s rematch at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, live on DAZN.

Collins (17-0-1, 8 KOs) gets his chance to settle it on home soil once more. Queensberry is presenting the fight as a final eliminator for the WBC featherweight world championship. Either way, the winner moves closer to a world title shot at featherweight and into contention for a clash with Bruce Carrington.

Lorente (20-0-3, 8 KOs), from Barcelona, arrives as the defending European featherweight champion and the man who left Scotland with his belt intact last time. He first won the European title in March 2023, regained it in July 2024, and most recently defended it in a split draw against Ruben Gil before returning for this rematch.
