Redstall Keeps Fighting After the Laura Pain Title Bout Falls Through
Megan Redstall’s planned Commonwealth bantamweight championship fight with Laura Pain did not take place at York Hall on November 30, 2025. Pain withdrew during fight week because of a shoulder injury, and Redstall instead faced Klaudia Ferenczi in a replacement contest.
A title camp meets a late change
Redstall had spent eight weeks preparing at The Contender Gym in Melksham while balancing training with her work as a paramedic. The Pain pairing had offered a vacant championship opportunity and a significant step beyond her previous professional assignments.
The withdrawal repeated an earlier frustration, after another Commonwealth opportunity had fallen through when a previous opponent became ill. Rather than losing the November appearance entirely, Redstall accepted the short-notice replacement arranged by promoter Johnny Clark.
The replacement produces a full-distance win
She defeated Ferenczi 60–54 over six rounds, winning every round on the referee’s card and preserving her unbeaten record. In a subsequent interview, she emphasized the value of remaining active and gaining experience on a DAZN-broadcast show despite missing the intended title contest.
The completed result therefore belonged to Redstall and Ferenczi, while the Pain matchup remained an unrealized championship plan. Redstall left with another professional victory and six rounds of work, but the vacant Commonwealth belt was not awarded through that replacement assignment. Her November story was one of adapting to a late change and continuing to build momentum after the original opportunity disappeared.
