A whopping five belts will be on the line across “The Trilogy” of
three
Cage Warriors Fighting Championship events in September.
A new title clash has been added to the upcoming CW
115 event, per the promotion on Friday. Manchester’s own
Jack
Cartwright will attempt his second title defense on Sept. 25
against Gerardo
Fanny. This championship bout joins another already scheduled
on the card at middleweight. CW 115 is the second of three
consecutive events across the last week in September.
Cartwright (8-0) won the belt by smashing both Scott
Malone and Marko
Kovacevic in the first round of the one-night bantamweight
tournament of Unplugged 2 in 2019. He then defended his title
against Manuel
Bilic at CW 112, where he displayed a surgical striking
throughout the fight. For the first time in his professional
career, Cartwright won via decision, as each of his seven previous
victories came by first-round stoppage.
The challenger and promotional newcomer Fanny (9-1) is coming off a
second-round TKO victory over Luiz Filho
in his latest cage appearance. The win over Filho put him back in
the win column, rebounding from his first career defeat when
Daan
Duijs tapped him out in 2019. That loss snapped an eight-bout
winning streak. Like his opponent, the Dutchman prefers the finish,
with seven of nine victories coming inside the distance.
CW 115 will take place behind closed doors at the BEC Arena in
Manchester, England, on Sept. 25. The card will also feature a
middleweight championship tilt between Nathias
Frederick and Jamie
Richardson. Additionally,
Ultimate Fighting Championship vet Craig White
is taking on James Webb
in a middleweight affair, while up-and-coming Ben Ellis
collides with Kingsley
Crawford at 145 pounds.
