Nathaniel Collins (born 12 August 1996[3]) is a Scottish professional boxer who has held the British featherweight title since March 2023. He previously held the Commonwealth featherweight title from 2022 to 2024.

Professional career

[edit]

Collins made his professional debut on 6 October 2018, scoring a four-round points decision (PTS) victory against Lee Connelly at the Lagoon Leisure Centre in Paisley, Scotland.[4]

After compiling a record of 5–0 (1 KO), he faced Monty Ogilvie for the vacant Celctic featherweight title on 5 October 2019, at the Lagoon Leisure Centre. Collins scored five knockdowns en route to a fifth-round technical knockout (TKO) victory to capture his first professional championship.[5]

After a points victory against Jordan Ellison in a non-title fight in January 2021,[6] Collins faced Felix Williams for the vacant Commonwealth featherweight title on 31 July at the New Douglas Park in Hamilton, Scotland. Collins captured the title via third-round technical knockout.[7]

Collins won the vacant British featherweight title by stopping James Beech Jnr in the seventh round of their fight in Glasgow on 10 March 2023[8] and the European Silver featherweight title with a unanimous decision win over defending champion Francesco Grandelli at York Hall in London on 11 May 2024.[9]
