Danny Quartermaine

After an amateur career which saw him win 75 of 89 bouts, Quartermaine made his professional boxing debut with a four-round points victory over Ibrar Riyaz at the Holte Suite, Villa Park, in Birmingham on 22 February 2020.^[3]

Unbeaten in his first 10 pro-fights, he claimed the vacant IBF European super-featherweight title when his opponent, Romanian boxer Alex Rat, retired on his stool at the end of the fourth round at Coventry Skydome on 9 March 2024.^[4][5]

Returning to Coventry Skydome for his next outing on 29 June 2024, Quartermaine overcame being knocked to the canvas in the first round to beat James Chereji via unanimous decision to retain his championship and add the vacant WBO European super-featherweight title to his collection.^[6][7]

He defended both his titles against Jack Bateson at Park Community Arena in Sheffield on 7 December 2024, but the contest was halted in the second round and declared a technical draw on the ringside doctors' advice after both fighters suffered serious cuts in an accidental clash of heads.^[8][9]

Quartermaine defeated Jayro Fernando Duran on points in a six-round non-title bout at the Holiday Inn, Birmingham Airport, on 7 June 2025.^[10][11] The fight was meant to be a warm-up for a defence of his European titles against undefeated Royston Barney-Smith at Bournemouth International Centre on 26 July 2025,^[12] but the challenger withdrew due to injury.^[13] The contest was rescheduled to take place at the O2 Arena in London on 25 October 2025.^[14] Quartermaine was knocked to the canvas in the final round and, although he recovered to continue the fight, lost by unanimous decision.^[15][16]
