CAGE WARRIORS 93: GOTHENBURG

 

 

Fight week for CW93, Cage Warriors’ history-making Swedish debut, has begun. Europe’s leading MMA promotion have teamed up with Viaplay, a leading Scandinavian broadcaster,  to offer a stacked card filled with some of the biggest names on the scene. 

Here’s the low down on the fights you should be looking out for, and how to watch the action on Saturday 28th.

The card is headlined by a welterweight match up between Denmark’s ex-Cage Warriors world champion Nicolas Dalby and surging Italian American Carlo Pedersoli Jr, who makes his Cage Warriors debut on a 6-fight win streak having finished his last 3 opponents in the very first round. Dalby returns to Cage Warriors after a 4-fight run with the UFC, which included an impressive debut win over Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and a draw with Liverpool megastar Darren Till. It’s a main event fit for Cage Warriors first visit to Scandinavia in 4 years!

 

CW93’s co-main, Bergh vs Bukauskas, will see two huge light-heavyweights come to blows in a fight to move up the rankings into number 1 contender territory. Norway’s Kenneth Bergh has picked up five first-round stoppages in his unbeaten reign since 2013, and Modestas Bukauskas is fighting fresh off a dominant submission finish at CW92: Super Saturday, Cage Warriors biggest event in recent years.

Another fight that has the European MMA scene talking is Denmark’s Soren Bak vs Norway’s Alexander Jacobsen. With both men entering CW93 off the back of first-round finishes against some of the toughest contenders in the division, this fight could position the winner as the next man to fight for the lightweight belt later this year.

 

Local fans will also turn out in force for an all-Swedish clash between Cornelia Holm and Malin Hermansson. After winning both World and European amateur titles and going undefeated at both the 2016 IMMAF World Championships and the 2017 European Open, Holm is a definite female flyweight prospect from Gothenburg to keep your eyes on this year. Hermansson will look to cut Holm’s rise short on Saturday night and establish herself as the greater prospect – this is one not to miss. Also fighting for Gothenburg at CW93 are Junior Karanta, Alan Carlos, Per Franklin, Rafael Macedo, Sahil Siraj and Saeed Ganji.

Tickets for CW93 at Gothenburg’s Lisebergshallen are on sale here.

CW93’s Main Card (from 8pm UK time) will be broadcast live on Viaplay, BT Sport 3, UFC FightPass and a host of premium global partners including:

CALLUM SMITH’S TROPHY BATTLE BEGINS IN LIVERPOOL

Wbc Images

The battle for the inaugural 168lb Muhammad Ali Trophy begins on September 16th with the first of the World Boxing Super Series’ hugely anticipated super middleweight match ups. British betting favourite and number two seed Callum Smith (22-0, 17 KOs) will meet undefeated Swedish star Erik Skoglund (26-0, 12 KOs) in a quarter-final bout at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

 

Smith, who is undefeated in his twenty-two professional contests, selected Skoglund as his quarter-final opponent during the live Draft Gala on July 8th at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, and as one of the four seeded super middleweights he will enjoy home advantage for his first tournament test.

 

Skoglund, who is unbeaten in his twenty-four paid fights and ranked with all major governing bodies at 175lbs before moving down in weight, is relishing the opportunity to go toe-to-toe with one of the division’s top talents, and believes the winner of this fight can go on to lift the coveted Muhammad Ali Trophy.

 

The WBC Diamond belt will also be on the line for the winner of this quarter-final bout giving both men an added incentive. ‘’I’m in this sport to win as many titles as possible, and it will be great to add the WBC Diamond belt to my collection,’’ said Smith. ‘’It’s going to be an honour to fight for the WBC Diamond title,’’ said Skoglund. ”It gives me even more motivation to win!’’
