Battlefield Fight League will return to the River Rock Casino in Richmond, British Columbia for the first time since BFL 5 in January 2011.
The main event at BFL 25 is a match-up between Tristar based fighter Gary Mangat and undefeated prospect Josh Gow.
Battlefield Fight League returns to the River Rock Casino on Sept. 7
Mangat (4-0) made his way to Montreal after a very successful amateur career to create a strong base at Tristar and has since gone undefeated as a pro. He has fought three of his professional bouts with BFL and one lone match with India’s Super Fight League. Most recently “Saint Lion” defeated Jordan Mackin via TKO at BFL 24 in July.
Gow (2-0) has fought for two regional shows and has come away unscathed. In fact both of his victories have come by first round submission.
In the co-main event former BFL featherweight champion Jeremy Kennedy will square off against Jordan Mackin.
Kennedy (1-0) had a fantastic amateur career with BFL and upon turning pro has gone 1-0. At BFL 24 in July, “JBC” defeated Dan Lin via unanimous decision to kick off his professional career with a bang.
Mackin (0-2) turned pro in June and has fought twice since. He lost to Mangat at BFL 24 in June and to Jonny Gilbertson at a regional show in July due to strikes.
Also featured on the card is one of BC’s most recognizable fighters, Micah Brakefield. “Mitey” will take on Sik-Jitsu fighting systems’ Jake Asher.
Brakefield (2-1) held the BFL middleweight championship before turning pro and has since gone 2-1. He won his first two professional bouts against Stefan Fritsche and Darwin Douglas. However in his latest outing he came out on the wrong end of a knockout against Leo Xavier.
Asher (0-0) will be making his pro debut against Brakefield at BFL 25. The 27-year old had an undefeated amateur career at 3-0 according to Sherdog.
BFL 25 will go down on September 7, 2013 from the River Rock Casino in Richmond, BC.
