When Tom Duquesnoy vacated his BAMMA bantamweight title earlier this year, it was a mystery as to when it would find a new home and, more importantly, who would claim it. On July 7 at BAMMA 30, the championship belt will be vacant no more.
Shay Walsh and Alan Philpott, both Duquesnoy victims, were the two logical choices for the U.K.-based promotion and they will lock horns for the right to hoist the 135-pound crown. The action will reportedly headline BAMMA 30, which goes down inside 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
“Regaining my BAMMA world title is my number one goal, none of these bantamweights can stop me achieving that,” former champ Walsh said.
