Undefeated Nathaniel Collins to face Cristobal Lorente after biggest win of his career so far

Five months after the biggest win of his career so far, the undefeated Nathaniel Collins returns to action on October 4.

Live on DAZN , Collins will go head-to-head with Spain's Cristobal Lorente who has lost just one of his 23 professional fights. 

Collins arguably stole the show on the undercard of Josh Taylor's clash with Ekow Essuman in his all-Scottish showdown with Lee McGregor.

Three knockdowns in round four saw McGregor's corner throw in the towel and Collins staking his claim to be Scottish boxing's next biggest star.

With Lorente being his third opponent in 2025, Collins will be keeping active ahead of a potentially huge 2026.

DAZN Expert Opinion: Collins set to continue fairytale 2025 and fill Taylor void

It was just over a year ago when Nathaniel Collins and his career looked very different.

After beating Francesco Grandelli in May 2024, his biggest win to that point, Collins was rushed to hospital with serious abdominal pain and underwent surgery to remove gastric adhesions.

What followed was a long and tedious recovery, but Collins is making up for lost time with two wins already to his name in 2025.

The McGregor win was by far his best performance to date in what was a cauldron at Glasgow's SSE Hydro. If he can build on that win with another impressive display against Cristobal Lorente, he could fill the Scottish boxing superstar void left by Josh Taylor after he announced his retirement last week.
