Molly McCann’s Boxing Career Update: 3-0 and Returning to Liverpool

Molly McCann is 3-0 in her professional boxing career, marking a significant shift from her previous experiences in MMA. Before this development, McCann had not fought in Liverpool for eight years, with her last bout there ending dramatically when she was choked unconscious by Gillian Robertson.

Now, she is preparing to face Ashleigh Johnson on April 18, 2026, at the M&S Bank Arena. This fight will be her fourth in boxing, following victories over Kate Radomska, Ebonie Cotton, and Beata Dudek. The decisive moment came when McCann transitioned from MMA to boxing after retiring due to injuries—a move that has so far proven successful.

The immediate effect of this change is notable: McCann aims to fight for a British, Commonwealth, or European title before the end of the year. At 35 years old, she is aware that time is of the essence. “I would love a British, Commonwealth, or European title before the end of the year,” she stated.

McCann’s gratitude towards Eddie Hearn is evident; she remarked, “Everything I asked of Eddie Hearn, he’s delivered.” This support has been crucial as she seeks to establish herself further in the boxing arena.

In her previous bouts, McCann demonstrated resilience—winning despite back issues against Ebonie Cotton and achieving a sixth-round stoppage against Radomska. Notably, she has one knockout among her three wins.

But the significance of returning to Liverpool cannot be overstated. “It’s been eight years since I last fought in Liverpool,” she said. The anticipation surrounding this match adds another layer of excitement for both McCann and her fans.

With only eight weeks between fights for McCann since her last victory, the pressure is on. Her upcoming match serves as a pivotal moment not only for her career but also for local fans eager to see their champion return home.

As McCann steps into the ring again in Liverpool—a place where she once faced defeat—she carries with her the hopes of many who have followed her journey from MMA champion to emerging boxing star.

The numbers tell part of the story: after this fight, she will have four professional bouts under her belt. Each match represents a step toward greater aspirations within the sport.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding future titles or opponents beyond Johnson. However, Molly McCann’s trajectory in boxing is one that many will watch closely as she continues to build on her early success.
