In 1990, Collins had his first world title fight at the age of 25 against Mike McCallum for the WBA title. Unfortunately, he lost to McCallum via 12 round unanimous decision, which marked his first defeat in his career.

One of his career highlights includes winning the WBA middleweight title from Gerhard Botes in June 1993 with a victory via 7th round TKO. Collins also won the WBO middleweight title from Chris Pyatt in May 1994 with a win via 5th round TKO.

In September 1995, Collins successfully defended the WBO super-middleweight title against Chris Eubank in a 12 round split-decision win. He continued his successful defense by winning against Nigel Benn in July 1996 with a 4th round TKO and then in November of that same year with a 6th round RTD. Collins also successfully defended his title against Frederic Seillier in February 1997, winning via 5th round TKO. The last professional fight of his career was a super-middleweight title defense bout against Craig Cummings in July 1997, which he won via 3rd round TKO.

Career-wise, Collins fought a total of 39 times, including victories over renowned boxers such as Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Craig Cummings, Frederic Seillier, Chris Pyatt, Wayne Ellis, and Danny Morgan. Furthermore, Collins has never been stopped, and all his losses came via decision.
