(PRESS RELEASE) -- Europe’s flagship Mixed Martial Arts promotion, BAMMA, has confirmed a Featherweight bout between James Saville and Tom Duquesnoy to the BAMMA 14 preliminaries. BAMMA14: Daley vs. Da Silva takes place on 14th December at the LG Arena, as the promotion returns to Birmingham for its Christmas show.
James Saville fights out of AVT fight team in West Yorkshire with 9 first round victories out of 12 to his name. Scraps has scored the majority of his wins via a range of Chokes, and also via TKO. He has also obtained his losses by the same methods against respectable competition.
Tom Duquesnoy comes from France and has fought across Europe. Fighting out of Team Kayjn, Tom holds a record of 7-1-0. Only one of his fights have made the third round and he has won two of his fights within the first 36 seconds. The 20 year old, known for his devastating speed and aggression, most recently beat the previously undefeated Scott Hunt via way of TKO in just 34 seconds at the Margate based Killacam Promotions.
BAMMA’S VP of Talent Relations, Jude Samuel, said: “I kept hearing about Duquesnoy: He has some serious talent and power in those hands of his and he could be the next big thing in the Featherweight division. Scraps is not to be overlooked either as another upcoming talent known for his durability and excellent ground game. These guys are set to present a real challenge to each other on the night and I can’t wait to see how this fight maps out.”
