Welsh Prospect Ben Ellis to Square Off with Kingsley Crawford at CW 115

Cage Warriors 115 has added an exciting clash between two
up-and-coming fighters.

Welshman Ben Ellis is
taking on Kingsley
Crawford
in a 145-pound clash at the second of the three events
Cage Warriors announced for its September return. A person
with knowledge of the situation informed Sherdog about the matchup,
which was then confirmed by a promotion official.

Ellis (2-0) is arguably one of the most promising young
talents fighting out of Wales at the moment. He made his pro
debut last year after a brilliant amateur career that ended with a
record of 7-0. So far, all his fights have ended in the opening
stanza, as he trashed both Brad Evans
and Rafael
Skouras
at CW 104 and CW 108, respectively.

Crawford (5-2) is currently riding a two-bout streak after he
steamrolled  Scott
Butters
at CW 111 before submitting Lewis
Monarch
via triangle choke at CW 113. So far, “The Silent
Assassin” has gathered a professional record of 3-2 under the CW
banner.

CW 115 will go down behind closed doors at the BEC Arena in
Manchester on Sept. 25. On the same night, middleweight champion
Nathias
Frederick
(8-2) will attempt the first defense of his title
against Jamie
Richardson
(9-5). Plus, UFC vet Craig White
is taking on James Webb
in a middleweight affair.
