Collins suffers shock loss to Lorente

Nathaniel Collins saw his featherweight world title hopes handed a hammer-blow in his rematch with Cristobal Lorente.

Having delivered a contentious draw in their first encounter, the Scotsman hoped to pick up his revenge in Glasgow.

Instead, he was on the wrong end of a split-decision loss, as the Spaniard won their WBC title eliminator encounter.

It means Lorente is now the leading challenge to face champion Bruce Carrington, while Collins suffered a first pro loss.

Green derailed by Daniels

Shadasia Green came up brutally short against Lani Daniels after a ninth-round stoppage caught her flat in New York.

The star had hoped to use her unified super-middleweight bout as a springboard to a bout with Claressa Shields next.

Instead, after a bright start, she was exposed deep into the championship rounds and suffered a major reverse.

Victory for Daniels reignites her reputation as one of the sport's most durable operators, and opens plenty of doors too.

Gilley back on track with win

Having lost his Lonsdale Belt shot against Ishmael Davis last year, Sam Gilley got back on track with victory on Friday.

The star lit up the Collins-Lorente II undercard with a fifth-round stoppage against Aston Brown to underline his credentials.

Gilley has made no secret of his desire to have another crack at earning a British title at some point down the line this year.

Victory in this middleweight tie will see the clamour for him to take a fresh shot only increase among his fanbase in particular.
