Challenger Kay Prospere (14-1-1, 7 KO) has confined himself to the British scene throughout his seven years as a pro, going unbeaten in his last six.<\/p>\n<p>The co-feature pits featherweight champ Andoni Gago (24-3-3, 7 KO) against former super bantamweight title challenger Gavin McDonnell (22-2-2, 6 KO) in what\u2019s probably the most interesting matchup on the card. Gago is 8-0-1 since falling to Viorel Simion and Lee Selby in the span of three fights, beating Jesus Sanchez for the Euro title along the way, while McDonnell\u2019s been rebuilding after a 2018 walloping from Daniel Roman.<\/p>\n<p>TBA\u2019s presently pulling double duty against European super welterweight champ Sergio Garcia (33-0, 14 KO) and former welterweight champ Kerman Lejarraga (31-2, 24 KO), the latter of whom has won three straight since his second knockout loss to David Avanesyan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Matchroom Sport Managing Director Eddie Hearn said: \u201cThis is a huge card for Spanish boxing and we can\u2019t wait to return on March 26. As Matchroom Boxing continues its global expansion, Spain remains a big focus for us and this double European Title card features some of the country\u2019s strongest talents with two hungry Brits looking to come and rip the Titles from them.
