Watch Davies vs. Masoud highlights: Watch
Collins is attempting to rebuild after a draw with Cristobal Lorente was followed by a split decision defeat in their rematch, the first loss of his professional career. The Scottish southpaw has already overcome a major setback outside the ring, returning to boxing after emergency surgery for a life-threatening twisted bowel that kept him out for nine months. Now he travels into Davies’ territory knowing that victory would restore his position among the leading featherweights and revive his world title ambitions.
The undercard includes Nathan Heaney (19-2-1, 6 KOs) seeking revenge against Gerome Warburton (17-2-2, 2KOs) after losing their first fight in March.
Luke McCormack (5-0-0, 3KOs) will also challenge Kay Prospere (16-2-1. 7KOs) for the British super lightweight title on a card carrying major consequences for several domestic contenders.
