REMATCH, HIGHER STAKES: COLLINS VS LORENTE BECOMES WBC TITLE ELIMINATOR
Nathaniel Collins' highly anticipated rematch with Cristobal Lorente has been elevated to a WBC featherweight title eliminator. The Scot is ready to "settle the score" and earn a world title shot.
Nathaniel Collins is thrilled to settle the score in his rematch with Cristobal Lorente, which now has even bigger stakes—a shot at the WBC featherweight title.
Last October, Collins (17-0-1, 8 KOs) and Lorente (20-0-3, 8 KOs) fought to a 12-round draw in Glasgow for Lorente's European title. Most people saw a rematch coming, and with Collins ranked No. 1 and Lorente at No. 3 by the WBC, the sanctioning body made the return a title eliminator.
The date and location are still TBD.
A couple of weeks back, Collins was caught in a mix with Stephen Fulton, Bruce Carrington, and Rey Vargas.
It’s now been announced that Carrington (16-0, 9 KOs) will fight Carlos Castro (30-3, 14 KOs) for the belt Fulton left vacant. This fight will be the undercard for the Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson fight on January 31, broadcast live on DAZN from Madison Square Garden in New York.
Things are much clearer now. Collins knows that if he beats Lorente this time, he's next in line for the WBC title.
Yeah, it was a bit of a surprise, but I thought that's where it was headed. "Everyone else is booked, so I guess I was the only option," the 29-year-old Scot told The Ring.
Lorente was always there, and I'm happy about that because I want to get revenge.
A world title shot would have been great, but things changed. I think I won the first fight, and I don't think I've met someone who disagrees. This is my chance to prove myself and get the win.
Collins believes he learned a lot from the first Lorente fight.
The southpaw started strong and was ahead halfway through, but Lorente kept the pressure on.
Instead of using his speed and footwork, Collins went toe-to-toe with Lorente, turning what looked like an easy night into a slugfest.
Some fighters make huge changes after a bad result, but Collins knows exactly what he needs to fix.
After getting over the initial frustration and thinking about the fight, he realised that at this level, you have to know when to brawl and when to box smart.
If I had just boxed as I did in the first six rounds, it would have been easy, he said.
I was watching Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes fight recently, and Mason's corner was saying, 'Just box, and it's an easy fight,' but he wanted to prove something. I think a lot of fighters are like that—they're world-class but still feel like they have something to prove.
CROSSOVER BLOCKBUSTER: THE FULL TIMELINE OF JAKE PAUL VS ANTHONY JOSHUA DEAL
The controversial Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua heavyweight fight is happening on December 19. We break down the strange timeline, which includes leaked DMs and the collapse of the Gervonta Davis bout.
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua went back and forth in 2025 before making a surprise fight deal.
Paul and Joshua are set for a controversial heavyweight fight on Friday, December 19.
The American has been working hard to get his shot at Joshua.
While many are worried about Paul's health taking on the former two-time heavyweight champ, he's staying sure of himself.
You might wonder how this fight happened, so StadiumNest is breaking down the timeline below.
How did it start?
Paul got things going by calling out Joshua on his podcast earlier this year.
He said, "I want to fight Anthony Joshua because I know I will beat Anthony Joshua's ass."
He doesn't have a chin, and he has no skill, and he is stiff.
I love you, Anthony, and we are friends. But I want to fight you.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer then shared that they had been talking behind the scenes about a possible fight.
In June, Paul leaked their private messages: It was all nice; we've been friendly.
[Joshua] DM'd me today saying LOL to one of my training clips, and then I sent him a LOL with a picture of him getting knocked out by Daniel Dubois.
So I guess we're trash-talking a bit behind the scenes. But I have a lot of love for Anthony Joshua.
I think this is funny, and he's a great guy, and I think a fight between us would be awesome, and I believe I can win.
Joshua then shared a screenshot of a phone call with 'The Problem Child,' writing '2026' with a zipped-lips emoji.
They seemed to have agreed to fight in 2026, as Paul was planning to meet Gervonta Davis in an exhibition match first.
What was stopping Paul vs. Joshua?
Paul and Joshua had some issues getting their fight done.
Turki Alalshikh's Ring Magazine said talks fell apart over the network since Joshua has a deal with DAZN.
It seemed their fight was off when Paul vs. Davis was announced, even though Joshua was in talks with the 28-year-old.
Joshua wanted to fight again, having been out of action since losing to Dubois in September 2024, so he looked for other options.
When the superstar's promoter, Eddie Hearn, was asked about his fighter's plan, he said, "I won't speak for him, but I don't think we will commit to that fight until Tank has fought him in November.
“We are not going to wait until November to make our move, so it is likely Anthony Joshua will fight in January or February against someone else.
“But Tank is Tank; who knows? They still have to make sure that the fight happens. We knew Jake would take a fight this side of the year, but it is what it is.”
As the options for the 36-year-old to fight this year got fewer, a surprise brought Paul back into the picture.
What changed?
Paul called off his fight with Davis when 'Tank' was accused of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and emotional distress.
He then released a list of potential opponents in November, with Joshua as a top target again.
While it seemed unlikely, it was reported that they were 'finalising terms' to finally fight before the new year.
The official announcement came days later, with the Kaseya Centre in Miami hosting the showdown.
Now, Paul and Joshua are lacing up their gloves to settle their beef live on Netflix this weekend.
LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT LEAP: LYNDON ARTHUR GIVES UP EBU TITLE, AIMS FOR WORLD LEVEL
Lyndon Arthur is vacating his European light heavyweight title, confirming his sights are set on the biggest fights in the 175-pound division after his recent win over Bradley Rea.
Lyndon Arthur is giving up his European light heavyweight title to pursue a bigger fight.
Arthur and Luca D'Ortenzi had until today to arrange a fight for Arthur's title.
Instead, Arthur chose to vacate the title. Fresh off a tight majority decision win over Bradley Rea on November 1, he’s likely aiming for a more important match in the 175-pound division.
With Arthur out, D'Ortenzi will now fight the highest-ranked available boxer from the EBU ratings. Currently, the top five include four British fighters. Callum Smith is set to defend his WBO interim world title against David Morrell. Anthony Yarde, a three-time title challenger, recently lost to David Benavidez in seven rounds.
Willy Hutchinson, ranked No. 2, is scheduled to face Ezra Taylor, a rising talent ranked No. 5, on January 24 in Manchester.
Robert Parzeczewski of Poland, with a record of 35-2 (20 KOs), is ranked No. 4. He’s currently on a 10-fight win streak since a loss to Sherzod Khusanov in 2020.
D'Ortenzi, 37, has been boxing professionally since 2016. He started with eight straight wins but lost to Salvatore Erittu in 2018.
Later, he secured the domestic heavyweight title by stopping Sergio Romano in the eighth round. He then moved to cruiserweight, earning regional titles before losing to Roman Fress in Germany.
After two more losses, D'Ortenzi has won three fights since moving down to the 175-pound division.
His next opponent will be announced soon.
