CWFC Fight Night 10: Azaitar vs. Marshman

London, England (March 11, 2014) - The main event for CWFC Fight Night 10 has been set, with Abu Azaitar and Jack Marshman set to square off in a middleweight bout.

CWFC Fight Night 10 will take place at the King Hussein Youth City Boxing Arena in Amman, Jordan, on Friday, 28 March, and will be Cage Warriors Fighting Championship’s fourth event in as many countries so far in 2014.

An exciting bantamweight bout between Scotland’s John Cullen (15-7-2) and Russian star Marat Pekov (10-5) has also been added to the bill, along with the light-heavyweight clash of experienced Frenchman Malik Merad (16-11) and six-fight CWFC veteran Mohamed Ali (10-5), a fan-favourite in the Middle East.

However, an injury has forced Liam James (8-6) out of his featherweight bout against Dave Hill (11-3). James will be replaced by 21-year-old English prospect Sam Gilbert, who’ll be searching for back-to-back CWFC wins.

London, England (February 25, 2014) - The Cage Warriors Fighting Championship featherweight title has officially been vacated by Jim Alers (12-1).

The reigning champion has relinquished the belt in order to take up an offer from the UFC, which triggered a release clause in his CWFC deal and sees the Florida native depart the promotion following a hugely successful seven-fight stint.

Alers is set to make his UFC debut against Alan Omer in Abu Dhabi on Friday, April 11, almost a year to the day since being crowned the CWFC featherweight champion.

Trio join CWFC roster

London, England (January 18, 2013) - TOMMY QUINN, Ryan Roddy and Matt Inman have been added to Cage Warriors Fighting Championship’s roster of fighters.

All three have signed five-fight deals to compete exclusively for Cage Warriors for the next 18 months.

Quinn (5-1), a 23-year-old Irish welterweight, fought twice for CWFC in 2012.

The Derry native rebounded from a loss to Jack Mason at Cage Warriors 47 to defeat Philip Mulpeter at Cage Warriors 51 in Dublin on December 31.

“It’s a great privilege to have signed with Cage Warriors,” said Quinn. “I always know I’m going to get good fights from Ian Dean and Graham Boylan.

“This also gives me security for my future because I know I’ll be well looked after, both as a fighter and a person. What more could I ask for?”

Roddy (5-1) also hails from Derry and made his CWFC debut on New Year’s Eve.

Despite suffering a second-round submission loss to Paul Redmond, the previously unbeaten 23-year-old lightweight impressed enough to secure a five-fight deal.

Roddy said: “I’m signed to the best show in Europe so I couldn’t be happier right now. This is a great opportunity for me and I want to thank Cage Warriors and my manager for this chance.”

Inman (9-4) has taken all nine of his wins by stoppage, eight of which have come inside the first round.

The 26-year-old Manchester welterweight will make his debut for the organisation on March 9 at Cage Warriors 52.

“I’m really happy with the contract,” said Inman. “It’s both exciting and daunting to think I’ll now be fighting on the biggest show in Europe.

“They’ve got a very deep welterweight division but I’m absolutely committed to taking this opportunity and performing well.”
