Joe McGrail is relishing the prospect of fighting in front of a home crowd this weekend after successive bouts on the road.
A European Junior silver medalist in 2018, McGrail fights as part of a packed Probellum bill at the Eventim Olympia this Saturday. Headlining the show will be older brother, Peter, while Jazza Dickens also fights the hard-hitting South African Lerato Dlamini for the vacant IBO world featherweight title.
McGrail, a product of the famous Everton Red Triangle gym, made a statement on his paid debut, stopping Fran Rodriguez in the second round, while his most recent victory came back in July against Alexandru Ionita at the Stadium of Light. And speaking on the ECHO’s Royal Blue podcast, McGrail admitted there is nothing better than fighting in front of a home crowd.
