Villi Bello vs. Turan Hasanov no longer fighting at tonight's Friday Night Fights event; Matt McCusker vs. Chris Mauceri new main event

Villi Bello and Turan Hasanov were set to fight in a re-match of their 2011 barn burner, but the fight will not be happening tonight. Bello fell ill in the recent days with flu like symptoms and can not compete tonight. Promoted to the main event is a fight between Matt McCusker and Chris Mauceri.

McCusker and Muceri both have exciting styles which should make for an exciting match up.

Villi Bello vs. Turan Hasanov set as new main event for this weekend's Friday Night Fights event

This weekend’s Friday Night Fights event was set to feature Rami Ibrahim vs. Mohammed Lemjerdine as their main event, but the bout will no longer be taking place after Ibrahim withdrew due to injury and a suitable replacement for Lemjerdine could not be found on short notice. The night’s main event will now feature a bout between Villi Bello and Turan Hasanov.

Bello was originally schedule to fight Preston Baptiste, but Baptiste withdrew from the bout last week. This now sets up a re-match between Bello and Hasanov. The pair previously fought in December of 2011, an exciting bout which Hasanov won by decision.

The other pro bout slated for this Friday’s event will feature Matt McCusker vs. Chris Mauceri. The event will take place at The Hall @ St. Pauls.
