137 headliner, former 185-pound titleholder Matthew
Bonner (11-7-1, 8-5-1 CW) will attempt to add another victory
to his record. “The Beast” is 5-1 in his latest outings, which
includes victories over former divisional champions Nathias
Frederick and James Webb.
Bonner looked good on the scales as he recorded 175.3lbs, below the
limit of the 177-pound contracted catchweight.
Atch Academy standout Joel
Kouadja (7-7, 0-0 CW) will make his promotional debut while
riding an impressive six-bout win streak. The Frenchman finished
all his latest opponents inside the distance. Kouadja hit the
scales at 176.9 pounds.
In the co-main event, two promotional newcomers will collide to
impress U.K. fans as Bogdan

over Cipian Maris at RXF 40, while Duijs (7-1, 0-0 CW) submitted
Omer
