\u201cTop that!\u201d you could hear them cry to the rest of the boxing schedule from inside the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.<\/p>\n
Well, let\u2019s give it a shot.<\/p>\n
1. One of Nathaniel Collins\u2019 or Cristobal Lorente\u2019s O’s has gotta go<\/p>\n
Well, unless there is a draw in Glasgow, Scotland, of course \u2014 something quite possible considering Lorente\u2019s (20-0-2, 8 KOs) most recent outing.<\/p>\n

But Nathaniel Collins (17-0, 8 KOs), dubbed the \u201cNew King of Scotland,\u201d will be doing all he can to make sure he’s the only featherweight leaving the Braehead Arena with his unbeaten record intact Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The EBU European title is up for grabs in this Queensberry Promotions show, and with it live on DAZN this card should get plenty of viewers, considering the lack of competition it is up against across the boxing landscape.<\/p>\n
Not-so-fun fact for Collins: He was born with gastroschisis, a rare condition where a baby\u2019s abdominal wall doesn\u2019t fully form, meaning the intestines and other organs develop outside the body. This has affected the 29-year-old in later life, seeing him forced to take time out last year due to a twisted bowel.<\/p>\n
Collins has positioned this condition as his strength, citing it as a reason he was born a fighter. Saturday night, he gets the chance to headline for the first time as a pro and force himself into the world-title picture at 126 pounds.<\/p>\n

In a plot Mel Gibson would be proud of, the reigning Scottish and English lightweight champions, Regan Glackin (16-0, 3 KOs) and Louie O\u2019Doherty (10-0, 2 KOs) respectively, meet Saturday night for the vacant British title at 135 pounds.<\/p>\n

There may only be a combined five stoppages shared across their records, but with career stakes at their highest for both men, expect nervous energy to swill around the Braehead Arena.<\/p>\n
The bookmakers can\u2019t split these two, and the fighters themselves may struggle in a contest that\u2019s expected to require eagle-eyed judging.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s boxing\u2019s classic, repeated game of snakes and ladders here \u2014 the winner keeps his unbeaten record and can roll again, whereas the loser will tumble down the board.<\/p>\n
Throw in the prestigious Lonsdale belt and this one surely can\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n
3. Mateusz Masternak approaches 50 wins<\/p>\n
If you like cricket analogies, then Poland\u2019s Mateusz Masternak (49-6, 32 KOs) is attempting to run a quick single, notch up his half-century and raise his bat to an adoring Nosalowy Dw\u00f3r Arena in Zakopane, Poland this Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The bowler? Essex-based Belgian Joel Tambwe Djeko (19-3-1, 9 KOs) who is looking to find the \u201cMaster\u2019s\u201d middle stump and claim the vacant EBU European cruiserweight title.<\/p>\n
Enough cricket? OK, sorry.<\/p>\n
But at 38 years of age and with 49 professional wins under his belt, we\u2019re running out of ways to describe the lengthy career of Masternak.<\/p>\n
The Pole is attempting to regain the EBU title a staggering 12 years since he last held it, and is now on his third opponent following the pullouts of Leonardo Mosquea and Artur Mann.<\/p>\n
The WBC seems to love the EBU title, so who\u2019s to say a dominant win by the cruiserweight won\u2019t see him pushed toward a title\/interim opportunity in 2026 against either Badou Jack or Michal Cieslak?<\/p>\n

Age is, after all, just a number.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of firsts for Los Angeles-based Austrian Umar Dzambekov on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old light heavyweight, now 12-0 (8 KOs), headlines a card for the first time in the United States, contests a 10-rounder for the first time and steps up to face a genuine threat at 175 pounds for the first time in his four-year pro career.<\/p>\n
If things go well for the southpaw \u2014 fighting Russian Artem Brusov (13-1, 12 KOs) \u2014 then a lucrative contract with Dana White\u2019s Zuffa Boxing could well be on the cards, as the stable from 360 Promotions courts its next suitor.<\/p>\n
