The fight, a rematch of their October bout at the Braehead Arena, saw Collins lose on points, though he scored the only knockdown in the sixth round. Collins, backed by Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions, made his ring-walk to the song 'Canter' by Gerry Cinnamon and wore his customary 'nightmare' mask, but the event had a subdued atmosphere with the top tier of The Hydro arena closed. Collins fought under personal circumstances, as his wife Anna did not attend because she is heavily pregnant.
Collins, a father to a three-year-old daughter named Izzy and expecting a second baby girl, noted that Izzy and his mother Melanie watched from home. The exact date of the fight and the specific scores from each judge's card have not been disclosed, and it is unclear how many tickets were sold. It is unknown whether Anna gave birth before or after the fight, and Collins' next bout has not been announced.
