Eddie HearnBoxing Matchroom promotes McCormack vs Parra and Dazn Televise Live Worldwide.
The Silver Olympic medalist 2020, McCormack (7-0, 5 costs), was at the 10-Rund level in his last three trips, forcing Tony Dixon to retire after four rounds of the battle in July 2023 in his first distance expedition.
The 30-year-old won all 10 rounds against Williams Andres Herrera in October last year, and then Robbie Davies Jr fell three times before he forced six cages to retire.
McCormack will now face Parra Mexico (25-5-1, 17 food), a 32-year-old in good shape since Shakhram Giyasova lost in July last year.
“Maquina” won twice in her homeland before traveling to Spain to force Nestor Gonzalez to retire after three rounds in his last task in July.
Forecasting: McCormack has been impressive until now, and Parra will come to the fight, which should match the family warrior. McCormack can get closer to the shot in Rolando Romero with a wide victory in points.
Dickinson is fighting Williamson
Undercard offers a fantastic commercial fight because Mark Dickinson defends his English title of super medium weight against Troy Williamson in the north-eastern Derby.
Dickinson (8-1, 2 KO) lost the cards from Kazuto Takeako in Japan in July last year, but he bounced to win the English title in March, scoring clear points with previously undefeated Reece Farnhill in Altincham.
Since the dropping of the British title at the Super Welter, weighing points to Josh Kelly in December 2022, Williamson Darlington (20-4-1, 14 food) has lost another three times, winning only once in the sixth.
The last 34-year-old defeat was wide if he was dressed twice before he fell on the results cards for Jahi Tucker in Las Vegas in April.
Forecasts: Williamson recently showed signs of slowdown, and Dickinson can operate this to win points to keep the belt.
Other card
The former world champion of Sandy Ryan (7-3-1, 3 food) returns to action after defeats with Mikaela Mayer, and she should jump with clear points winning in 10 rounds against Jade Grierson (5-0-1, 2 food).

In four rounds, the heavyweight perspective Leo Atang (1-0, 1 KO) should win early with Cristian UWAKA (1-5-1, 1 KO) and a debutant in Bradley Case in Krążowarska Bradley Case with the same method against Goran Kozul (5-7, 2 food).
Lithe perspective, Cameron Vuong (8-0, 4 Food) and Bantamweight Prince, Adam Maca (1-0, 1 KO) also have to confirm opponents.
Tim Tszyu continued to rebuild his position in the super welterweight division by defeating previously undefeated Denis Nurja over ten rounds on Saturday night in Wollongong.
Fighting in front of a home crowd at the Wollongong Entertainment Center in Modern South Wales, the former world champion set the pace throughout the match and scored a knockout, securing a unanimous decision victory.
All three judges gave identical scorecards 100-88, with Nurja losing a point in round seven Tim Tszyu improved his record to 27-3 with 18 knockouts.
Nurja entered the fight undefeated and tried to apply early pressure, but Tszyu quickly took control with steady combinations and body work that forced the Albanian back.
A clash of heads in round four caused a cut under Tszyu’s left eye, briefly disrupting the momentum of the fight.
Tszyu responded moments later with a ponderous left hook that knocked Nurja to the canvas.
Nurja defeated the count, but spent most of the remaining rounds trying to deal with Tszyu’s persistent attack.
A right hand in the sixth round visibly shook the challenger, and frustration ensued in the seventh when the referee informed the judges to deduct one point from Nurja for holding repeatedly.
Tszyu continued to push forward in the closing stages and Nurja lost his balance again in the final seconds of the tenth round before the challenger managed to go the distance.
Following the win, Tszyu turned his attention to potential future opponents at 154 pounds.
“I feel like I’m ready for Errol Spence Jr,” Tszyu said. “I think it would be a hell of a fight. It’s the bomb.”
“I’m not taking a step back. If he’s ready to meet me, then go ahead. I’m going gigantic fishing. Let’s go fishing.”
