McCormack, now 5-0 (3 KOs), has had a stop-start career since turning professional in 2022. Since finally making his debut in 2024 following issues with his former promoter Probelum, McCormack, now 30, has been attempting to make up for lost time. Now signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, he seemed promised a tough test against Gardner. In reality, the fight turned out to be rather straightforward for McCormack. Gardner, also 30, offered little, covering up throughout in an attempt to take as little damage as possible. McCormack was able to jab away at the gap in Gardner’s guard before hammering away at whatever flesh was available to him.
