Fabian Edwards has been added to Bellator’s London show next month having signed a new contract with the MMA promotion.

Following his superb knockout win over Falco Neto Lopes in Birmingham earlier this month, Edwards makes a swift return to the cage to take on Jonathan Bosuku at the SSE Arena, Wembley on 22 June.

Middleweight prospect Edwards, younger brother of UFC star Leon, is undefeated in his seven professional bouts – two with Bellator – with his performances for the promotion now rewarded with a new multi-fight deal.

His opponent, 23-year-old Frenchman Bosuku, will be making his debut for the promotion.

Edwards joins a card headlined by Gegard Mousasi’s middleweight title defence against the undefeated Rafael Lovato Jr.

Irish star James Gallagher is in action against Jeremiah Labiano while Paul Daley is out to halt a two-fight losing streak when he takes on Erick Silva.

Tickets for Bellator London: Mousasi vs. Lovato Jr. are now on sale and can be purchased online from axs.com/uk and Bellator.com.
