Background
Cage Warriors’ returns to Scotland’s second city, and with a world title fight, a $50k PrizeFighter tournament and a card packed full of home-grown and international talent, there’s going to be a lot to keep fans happy at the Braehead Arena on September 7th!
After 17 long months, George Hardwick is finally back in the Famous Yellow Gloves of Cage Warriors. Following an appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series last summer, and a frustrating 2024 lay-off thanks to a broken jaw, Middlesborough’s finest is set for a blockbuster return to action at Saturday’s CW 176, from the Braehead Arena in Glasgow.
The Middlesbrough man will face Romania’s Cristian Iorga at CW 176 on Saturday, September 7th, at Glasgow’s Braehead Arena.
The bout will be fought over five, five minute rounds, with Hardwick’s 155lb title on the line.

In the second semi-final, 6’4 French striker Bourama Camara will test his mettle against Austrian veteran Marko Kisic.
