Welcome to the first instalment of Fighters on the Rise for 2025. If this is your first time joining us, welcome. If you’re a regular, welcome back.
Every Fight Week, this series will highlight three athletes set to make the walk that are, as the name suggests, working their way forward in their respective divisions or have the potential to do so in the not too distant future. It’s equal parts newcomer spotlight and ascending talent showcase, designed to let you know which competitors you should be keeping close tabs on heading into the weekend and going forward.
