Matchroom Boxing returns to London on 10 February 2024 with Dillon vs Bellotti. The main event is contesting the British and Commonwealth titles, and airs live from London on DAZN.
Matchroom Boxing’s NXTGEN show was originally set for Newcastle, with a rematch between Walker and Pattinson announced as the main event. The pair previously headlined a NXTGEN show in August in Birmingham, with Walker emerging victorious.
Walker vs Pattinson was cancelled after Pattinson withdrew with an injury. Taking to social media, Pattinson stated he was suffering from double vision before Christmas. Despite wearing a patch for 5 weeks, Pattinson was unable to train, and saw no improvement with his vision, forcing his withdrawal.
Matchroom Boxing then announced they had moved the event from Newcastle to London, and that Dillon vs Bellotti would headline the show.
Reece Bellotti is coming off a great 2023 where he defeated Aqib Fiaz and Youssef Khoumari. Bellotti had a previous run of 5 defeats in 7 fights, but has now won three in a row, picking up the Southern Area and Commonwealth titles along the way.
Liam Dillon fought once in 2023 where he captured the British Super Featherweight title in a Split Decision vs Qais Ashfaq.
Changes to the undercard have resulted in Ryan vs Dolan being cancelled, after Emma Dolan withdrew with injury. Craig Richards has been added to the card at late notice. Maisey Rose Courtney was removed from the card, presumably to make way for Shannon Ryan vs Jasmina Zapotoczna.
