The event takes place at the OVO Wembley Arena on Saturday, September 14. What time is Leah McCourt v Sara Collins? The ring walks for the main event are expected to start around 9pm.Quotes corner Leah McCourt: “She’s extremely tough. She’s shown that she can hang with different styles of fighters, but I think she’s not used to the kind of pace or pressure I bring. A lot of my fights are quite high-paced. I think it’s different to her, especially on fight night when you’re waiting around as the main event. It’s extra pressure that’ll play into my hands.
"Thank God it worked out alright, but it was very hard to navigate around and get myself back right because I didn't feel right after that."
