Breakthroughs, redemption and a world-title shootout: Three things to watch out for at Monte Carlo Showdown VI
Watch Masoud vs. McGrail on DAZN - Saturday
Shabaz Masoud and Peter McGrail lead a slate of fighters to the bright lights of the French Riviera this weekend as they descend on Monaco for the Monte Carlo Showdown VI.
The pair headline a European super-bantamweight title fight atop a fascinating fight card, which unfolds at the Salle des Etoliles on Saturday, December 6, worldwide on DAZN.
For both men and their ambitions, there is plenty at stake as they seek to make a breakthrough to the upper tiers of a crowded division in 2026 - but they're not the only ones.
From a chance for a heavyweight rebuild, continental redemption and with a world title on the line elsewhere on the bill, here's five things DAZN News is on the look out for.
Masoud and McGrail face sliding doors chance
In a division bursting at the seams with great contenders, there is a serious chance on Saturday night for one of these two headliners to put a gauntlet down against their rivals.
Originally set for June before injury ruled Masoud out of the contest, the pair will finally have their dance now - and McGrail is determined to ensure the long wait was worth it.
If either man can put a statement on their record here, the chance of a move further towards the top of the super-bantamweight decision on the world stage awaits the winner.
Olympic hero Ferreira chases further glory
With silver and bronze medals from Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 to her name, IBF lightweight champion Beatriz Ferreira continues to cement her status as a serious pro talent.
Her latest defence, less than three months on from sealing a unanimous decision victory over Maira Moneo, the star is back in action against latest challenger Elif Nur Turhan.
The unbeaten Turkish star could bring an end to the Brazilian's reign atop the tree, holding the skills to make life difficult - but the incumbent will remain a fancied contender too.
'Romford Bull' ready to roar back
The last year has been something of a wake-up call for the University of Exeter graduate, with a narrow win over Dave Allen last December followed by rematch defeat in May.
Fisher, whose father Big John has kept a larger public profile in the intervening period, has quietly rebuilt in the gym since and makes his return on the bill against Ivan Balaz.
A victory - particularly a knockout - will help restore his reputation as he looks to impress in 2026 again, and find his way back towards the bigger cards and venues next year.
