Strahinja Ivanoviv replaces Marcus Fisher at The Warriors Cup XVI this weekend against Cyrus Washington

What was originally set to be Brett Hlavacek vs. Stephen Richards for the WBC Muay Thai super middleweight national title at The Warriors Cup XVI is now Cyrus Washington vs. Strahinja Ivanovic in a WBC Muay Thai elimination bout.

Hlavacek was the first fighter replaced; Marcus Fisher stepped in to fill his spot. Richards was next and Washington stepped in to replace him. Finally Fisher is now out and Ivanovic has taken his spot.

The bout serves as one of two pro bouts at The Warriors Cup XVI. The other bout on the card will feature James Smith vs. Radu Spinghel. All of the action will take place April 6th at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, NJ.

Three pro fights set for The Warriors Cup XVI, including Rami Ibrahim vs. Lerdsila Chumpairtour

Three pro bouts are confirmed for The Warriors Cup XVI on April 6th in New Jersey. The event will take place at Schuetzen Park in North Bergen, NJ and will feature Stephen Richards vs. Marcus Fisher, Lerdsila Chumpairtour vs. Rami Ibrahim, and James Smith vs. Radu Spinghel.
 

Richards and Marcus will fight for the vacant WBC National Super Middleweight Title. Richards will be returning to action after a year long layoff, while Fisher will make his second consecutive appearance on a Warriors Cup event.
 

Lerdsila and Ibrahim will feature two of the top fighters based in the United States. Both fighters will be looking to end their current two fight skids, which should make for an exciting fight as they both try and void a third consecutive loss.
 

Smith and Spinghel should prove to be an exciting fight between two hard hitting big men. Both throw hard and with bad intentions so this one going the distance seems unlikely.

Pro Fight Card:
Stephen Richards vs. Marcus Fisher
Lerdsila Chumpairtour vs. Rami Ibrahim
James Smith vs. Radu Spinghel

Results and Recap: Friday Night Fights Sept. 16th event

by Peeloshmee Deonarain

Friday Night Fights Muay Thai kicked off the first of back-to-back events at the Broad Street Ballroom with their September 16th fight card, which featured five pro fights. The night's main event action was a bout between New York's Chris Kwiatkowski and Canada's Joe Marchand Tipping. Both fighters seemed equally matched in the ring, Kwiatkowski used his hands to do most of his damage, while Tipping used his kicks to score. The fight started off slow as both fighters felt each other out. Kwiatkowski clearly knew his hands were going to be key for him as he scored with them through out the bout, utilizing his reach to land his jab. Tipping was the smaller fighter of the two as he moved up a weight class to face Kwiatkowski, but clearly had no problem mixing it up with Kwiatkowski as he successfully implemented body kicks and leg kicks throughout the fight. In addition to landing his jab Kwiatkowski followed up with body kicks that successfully landed and in the end took home a unanimous decision win.
