Erik Carlsson (6-3) has got himself a new opponent for this weekend’s Brave CF 13 card in Belfast. The Swede was originally scheduled to face Abdul-Kareem Al-Selwady (9-1) in a lightweight clash. Unfortunately, Al-Selwady was forced to pull out of the highly anticipated match-up due to injury after breaking his hand.
There were talks of Carlsson being pulled from the card as a result of the injury but a replacement was found. The highly experienced Erick da Silva (21-5) will step in on short notice to keep this fight on the card.
