Ecospill’s sponsored athlete Pat McCormack is set to take on his biggest challenge yet — and his first fight outside of the UK as a professional. The North East fighter has been confirmed to compete on the Monte Carlo Showdown card on 6th December, as part of the Riyadh Season series.

Unbeaten in eight professional bouts (all on home soil), McCormack will face Conah Walker (16-3-1), with the WBA International title potentially on the line. Whether Walker’s British crown will also be contested remains uncertain, as the fight is being held overseas.

McCormack said:

“Me and Conah are two fighters with great momentum. Many thought he beat Lewis Crocker, who is now the world champion, so I’m looking forward to using that to make a statement. And what better place to do it than Monte Carlo.”

The card will be headlined by British fighter Shabaz Masoud, who makes the first defence of his IBO Super Bantamweight World Title against Peter McGrail.

Matchroom Chairman Eddie Hearn added:

“This really is the best card we’ve ever staged in the Principality. Monte Carlo oozes class, and over the years we’ve matched that by delivering some truly memorable nights showcasing the biggest and best talent in the sport.”

As always, everyone at Ecospill will be cheering Pat on as he steps onto the European stage for the first time. Stay tuned for updates and behind-the-scenes coverage as fight night approaches!
