About two weeks ago Muay Thai Authority broke the news about Liam Harrison coming to America to fight Jusint Greskieiwcz as part of The Warriors Cup XII. Three more bouts have now been confirmed for the July 23rd event. In addition to Harrison vs. Greskiewicz the event will also feature Rami Ibrahim vs. Mark DeLuca, Marcus Fisher vs. Brett Hlavacek, and Ognjen Topic vs. Tony Manoharan.
Harrison vs. Greskiewicz will fight for a WBC Muay Thai International challenge championship, for those not familiar with a challenge championship there is a belt that goes along with it but they are not the WBC Muay Thai International champion. The belt is granted for said fight only. Harrison and Greskiewicz both suffered losses their last fight. Harrison lost arguably to the best Muay Thai fighter in the world Saenchai Sinibi Gym, and Greskiewicz dopped a close decision to Turan Hasanov. Before this fight takes place Greskiewicz will be fighting on June 11th in the second round of the Journey Fight Series 140lb tournament.
In the nights co-main event Rami Ibrahim and Mark DeLuca will square off in a WBC Muay Thai elimination bout. DeLuca and Ibrahim are both coming off of losses and a win is crucial for both. Ibrahim who represents Sitan gym dropped an exciting decision to Matt Embree in the opening round of the Journey Fights series 140lb tournament. DeLuca recently lost to Kevin Ross in a WBC Muay Thai International title bout, after the doctor called the fight at the end off the third round.
