Molly McCann is set to fight Ashleigh Johnson on April 18, 2026. This will be her fourth professional boxing bout.
Before this development, expectations were high for McCann’s career trajectory. She has already secured three wins in her professional boxing career.
Now, she aims to fight for a British, Commonwealth, or European title before the year ends. “I would love a British, Commonwealth, or European title before the end of the year,” she stated.
This fight marks a significant return for McCann. It has been eight years since she last fought in Liverpool.
Her previous match in the city ended dramatically—she was choked unconscious by Gillian Robertson. The stakes are higher now as she seeks redemption.
McCann’s last three fights included a sixth-round stoppage against Kate Radomska and victories over Ebonie Cotton and Beata Dudek. She remains undefeated in boxing.
As of midday today, McCann expressed gratitude towards Eddie Hearn. “Everything I asked of Eddie Hearn, he’s delivered,” she said.
This upcoming fight will also serve as the chief-support slot to Ben Whittaker’s match. Fans are eagerly anticipating both bouts at the M&S Bank Arena.
McCann is now 35 years old and has transitioned from MMA to boxing after retiring due to injuries. She has shown remarkable resilience and determination.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential title fights following this bout. However, McCann’s ambition is clear—she wants to make a mark in women’s boxing.
