Cage Warriors 192: Shaj Haque returns to defend flyweight crown in London

London’s Indigo at The O2 will roar to the sound of a Cage Warriors fight night once again as the leading European fight promotion hits the English capital for Cage Warriors 192 on Saturday, July 12.

This weekend’s event featured a loaded 14-fight lineup, with a flyweight world title bout set for the main event.

Reigning 125-pound champion Shaj Haque returns from a two-year hiatus to put his title on the line against local boy Jawany Scott over the five-round championship duration.

Since Haque’s maiden title defence against Michele Martignoni back in July 2023, London’s Scott has claimed five straight victories, with the last four coming under the Cage Warriors banner, to put himself firmly into title contention. His last bout, at Cage Warriors 186, saw him finish former Fight Club Rush champion Jonny Touma via second-round TKO to underscore his championship credentials.

Now Scott will challenge Haque for flyweight supremacy in a matchup between a returning champion and an in-form contender.

Also set for action are bantamweight contenders Shirzad Qadrian and Cameron Else, who face off at 135 pounds with Else looking to steal some of the momentum from the 2024 PrizeFighter winner.

Cage Warriors commentator Brad Wharton will need to be on his toes as welterweight namesakes Steven Hill and Leon Hill do battle at 170 pounds, while another welterweight matchup will see America’s Anthony Orozco takes on Luan Duarte.

Also on the main card, Cage Warriors vet and perennial contender Weslley Maia faces off against Aidan Stephen and, in the main card opener, Adam Shelley has signed to step in on short notice to face Tariq Pell in a 160-pound catchweight contest that could deliver one of the best fights of the night.

Throw in the Cage Warriors return of Brad “The Crazy Kid” Wheeler, who faces Rafael Aronov in a cracker of a preliminary card matchup, plus former amateur standout Mitchell Goode, whose buggy choke finish of Angus Hewett on his pro debut claimed Cage Warriors’ submission of the year in 2024, and it all adds up to what should be another electric night at the Indigo.
