Cage Warriors announced that Burnell had stepped up to the plate on Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Cage Warriors announced via press release that interim featherweight champion Bak had withdrawn from the title contest, claiming that the Dane is “no longer willing to cut the weight necessary to make the 145lbs featherweight limit”.
