Josh “Hook On” Harvey (2-0) Bydd yn cyfarfod Richie Collingham (3-3) mewn pwysau ymladd o 145-bunnoedd.
Harvey is a former NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion. Trodd pro mewn 2016 after a stellar amateur career that saw him amass a record of 5-1 while facing some of the best the region has to offer. In his pro debut, Harvey submitted Matt Denning (3-4) in Lewiston last spring. He would follow up that victory with a win over Zenon Herrera (0-5) ym mis Awst. Harvey is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.
“I’m training for the fight I want, and this opponent is just one more step closer to where I am going,” said Harvey of the upcoming bout with Collingham. “Wishing him a healthy training camp and that he shows up.”
When Richie Collingham steps foot in the NEF cage on Chwefror 11 it will have been nearly a decade since his last fight. Now training out of Lakes Region Vale Tudo in New Hampshire, Collingham has not actively competed since 2007. He was very active on the California MMA circuit at that time and put together a string of submission victories.
“I’m very excited about stepping into the cage with a tough fighter like Josh Harvey and fighting for NEF and putting on a good show for everyone,” said Collingham. “I’m putting in hard work and February 11th can’t come soon enough.”
