British welterweight Pat McCormack will return to the ring when he faces Mexico's Miguel Parra on September 6, live on DAZN .

Undefeated in his seven fights as a professional, McCormack registered the biggest win of his career in February when he beat Robbie Davies Jr with three knockdowns .

Up next will be Parra, an experienced foe with 31 professional fights under his belt and a 25-5-1 (17 KOs) record.

McCormack will be an early favourite to triumph, but Parra has let his hands do the talking as of late with his last three wins coming by way of knockout.

DAZN Expert Opinion: McCormack needs to be wary of dangerous Parra

An impressive showing against Davies Jr has put McCormack well on the road to challenging for a major title sooner rather than later.

His win in February was a British welterweight title eliminator meaning a challenge for the historic Lonsdale belt is within his grasp, but first he must get past Parra.

Mexican fighters have a habit of coming over and spoiling the party, and McCormack cannot afford to let that happen if he wants his ascent through the ranks to continue.

With an Olympic medal on his resume, he has more than enough to overcome Parra, but McCormack will have to be at his best to avoid the dangerous hands of the 31-year-old.
