Profile

The story

MacMillan is from Morecambe in Lancashire and trains at McGuigan Gym in London under Shane McGuigan. Within that stable, he works alongside established names and, according to available reports, has also sparred with Chris Eubank Jr. In the run-up to June 2026, he signed a contract with Zuffa Boxing. On 6 June 2026, MacMillan secured a second-round TKO victory over Leo Fanthome at Zuffa Boxing 07 at the Bournemouth International Centre. The victory came after Fanthome was knocked down three times in total. MacMillan is therefore regarded as one of the promising British prospects within the new Zuffa Boxing structure.
