Full card unveiled for Brave CF 83: Bandel vs. Lohore

Brave Combat Federation’s European Tour returns to the forefront as the promotion heads to the Netherlands on May 25.

The organisation, which recently held a successful show in Mauritius that saw Nkosi Ndebele claim bragging rights in his bantamweight title trilogy with Jose “Shorty”| Torres, is returning to its European Tour, with an event in Alkmaar, Netherlands as the promotion teams up with Dutch promotion Enfusion.

Ten days out from the event, the full six-card lineup has been officially unveiled, with a pivotal clash in the super welterweight division topping the bill.

Former super welterweight champion Marcin Bandel returns to action in the headliner as he welcomes new signing Alex Lohore to the Brave CF cage for the very first time.

Bandel knows what it takes to reach the summit in Brave’s 175-pound division, while Lohore, who has competed at championship level for promotions across Europe, plans on making a statement by defeating a former belt-holder on his promotional debut.

Also set for their Brave CF debuts are middleweights Noach Blyden and Adrian Gralak, who are set to face off in the co-main event.

Blyden is 3-1 as a pro, with first-round finishes in each of his victories, while Poland’s Gralak gets set to make his Brave CF debut after compiling a 6-2 record in promotions including KSW, Celtic Gladiator and Babilon MMA.

The fight card will also feature the first Brave CF appearance of kickboxing ace Youssef Boughanem, who will look to parlay his stellar striking career into a successful run in MMA.

Boughanem is a former WMC, WBC Muay Thai, IBF Muay Thai and ISKA world champion, who has also held prestigious stadium championships in Thailand’s iconic Lumpinee, Rajadamnern and Omnoi stadiums. With more than 190 career victories under Muay Thai and kickboxing rules, the Moroccan-Belgian striker will look to make an instant impact inside the Brave CF cage when he takes on pro debutant Anando Amoksi in a lightweight matchup.

The card also includes a bantamweight matchup between former Brave CF flyweight contender Muhammad Idrisov and France’s Brice Picaud.
