An amateur middleweight title fight between Graham Mealand and Justin Burlinson has been added to UK Fighting Championships 4, which takes place on June 10. The bout serves as the final of a middleweight tournament.
The promotion released the news on their social media pages.
Mealand (4-2) fights out of The MMA Academy in Liverpool, which is home to names such as BAMMA Lonsdale Lightweight Champion Tim Barnett and undefeated amateur Mark Kinsella. Sporting a record of 4-2, the 29-year-old has proven his worth on the UK scene in his first six fights.
Burlinson (13-1) is much more experienced than his opponent, and has a record that is much better on the eye. With fourteen amateur scraps, and only one loss, the 19-year-old is promising to be one of the brightest talents coming out of the country. Fighting out of The Dungeon gym, Burlinson not only brings an impressive set of skills, but a massive following.
UK Fighting Championships 4 takes place live from the Guild Hall in Preston, England on Saturday, June 10.
