Last time out, McGrail was upset against American super bantamweight opponent O'Quinn and April 27 was considered an opportunity for him to redeem the shortcomings in his record. Instead, as personal family issues forced O'Quinn out of the ring, former British and British super bantamweight champion Marc Leach will fill the void.
Regardless, McGrail is desperate to make sure of a performance, keen to make a statement after last time's shock disappointment. Seemingly in control until the playoffs, McGrail clearly has no shortage of skill and will be aiming to put in an impressive display in a busy bid until he can avenge his record .

'The Beast' Beatriz Ferreira, a 4-0 fighter with an excellent amateur record of 101-9, will have to take down South American and WBC Latino lightweight champion Yanina del Carmen Lescano. This will be an incredible challenge for both women; pitting amateur talent and pedigree against the raw experience of a professional athlete who has won belts at the national level. This, arguably more than the title fight, will only have one viewer and certainly, it will have the most stakes.

Despite losses to Queensberry's Dennis McCann and Jack Oliphant, he has been well maintained so far.
5-0 Maisey Rose Courtney will face two-time European Super Flyweight title challenger Giuseppina Di Stefano, giving the 23-year-old Courtney solid experience in her sixth fight. Finally, the younger McGrail, Joe, enters his 10th fight with former Southern Area bantamweight champion Ryan Walker; Again, this is a solid experience builder for the younger brother.
