Undefeated Irish prospect Paul Hughes is set for his second outing under the Cage Warriors banner when he takes on French fighter, Youri Panada, at the promotion’s inaugural trip to Manchester on March 7th - an event which is set to be held at the BEC Arena.
MMA Fighting confirmed the 150-pound catchweight fight with Cage Warriors on Thursday. Hughes was initially scheduled to fight Antonio Sheldon on the night, but the English lightweight has been forced from the card due to an undisclosed injury.
Hughes (4-0-0) had one of the most talked about professional debuts in the country when he put on a striking showcase to stop Adam Gustab in the first-round when they clashed at BAMMA 28 in 2017.
