Headlining the card at the Eventim Olympia on Saturday, October 15, McGrail takes on dangerous Nicaraguan Alexander Espinoza over 10 rounds in a historic moment for the former amateur sensation.

And this is where the ‘Scouse Lomachenko’ sends a message to the rest of the 122-pound guys. October 15th is Peter McGrail’s Wardrobe Reveal Party. Make sure you’re there!”
