On Sunday the 21st of November, IÚR Fighting Championships 2 went down in Newry. The promotion crowned three new champions as they introduced titles to their shows for the first time. The card was headlined by a Bantamweight title clash that saw Oisin Fox take home a Split Decision win over Taylor Quinn. The back and forth fight is a must watch as both fighters put on an incredible grappling display.
Max Lally added another belt to his collection as he rose to the occasion once again outclassing Maga Zurabov to pick up the Lightweight belt. The young SBG Charlestown fighter is quickly becoming one of the most exciting amateur prospects to watch at the moment.
The third title fight between Abanoub Fares and Youcef Oukacine saw the SBG Cork City fighter snap a two-fight skid and take home the belt after taking the fight on short notice.
