By The Numbers: Harry Hardwick vs. Zafar Mohsen
Cage Warriors Fighting Championship will stage CW 172 this Saturday at Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle, England. A showdown between Harry Hardwick and Zafar Mohsen for the vacant featherweight title serves as the headliner.
“Houdini” was in the corner of his brother, Georges Hardwick, at CW 152 and looked on as he registered a first-round knockout of Yann Liasse to claim lightweight gold. Now, the older Harwick sibling finds himself on the cusp of championship glory. Mohsen stands as a staunch barrier. He makes his promotional debut on the strength of a three-fight winning streak, with all three of those victories having resulted in finishes.
