Balde vs. Bostwick at Cage Warriors 64
A middleweight bout between Boubacar Balde and Jake Bostwick (pictured) has been set for Cage Warriors 64. The pair will clash when Cage Warriors Fighting Championship kicks off its 2014 schedule with a return to The Forum in Kentish Town, London, on Saturday, February 15.
Balde (9-7) a veteran French fighter and promotional debutant, will be looking to return to the win column having lost by split decision to CWFC veteran Norman Paraisy in his most recent outing.
The 37-year-old, who owns seven stoppage wins including one against two-time UFC veteran Lucio Linhares, said: "I'm really proud that Cage Warriors has given me this opportunity. I never back down from a challenge and I love to strike, so be prepared for a war."
Currently on a six-fight win-streak, Bostwick (13-8-0-1nc) is 10-1 in his last 11 outings and was victorious in his CWFC debut at the expense of Vincent del Guerra at Cage Warriors 61 in Amman, Jordan, last month.
"I'm fighting a guy who's coming from a striking background so hopefully he'll stand in the pocket, trade with me and we can put on an exciting fight," said Bostwick, a London native. "This fight is the next step forward for me and I'm excited about fighting in my hometown."
Meanwhile, a bantamweight bout between English pair Daniel Crawford and Huseyin Gabaret has been added to Cage Warriors 64's preliminary card.

Re: Cage Warriors 64 - Fight Card Updates
Four More Fights Tapped for Cage Warriors 64 on Feb. 15
The addition of the meeting of Matt Inman (pictured) and Gregor Weibel is one of several updates to the bill for Cage Warriors 64, which takes place at The Forum in Kentish Town, London, on Saturday, February 15.
The exciting welterweight contest is one of four bouts that officials have today announced for the card for CWFC’s opening event of 2014, while injuries have also led to two enforced changes.
After his scheduled CWFC 61 main-event clash against Bruno Carvalho last month in Amman fell through due to an injury to his opponent, Inman (12-5) is eager to return to action as he chases his fourth consecutive victory.
Currently ranked ninth in the UK, the 27-year-old SBG Manchester product has taken all 12 of his professional victories inside the distance, with six submissions and six (T)KOs on his record.
"I'm planning to start 2014 with another win over a good opponent, so I can't wait to get back in the CWFC cage, especially in a fantastic venue like The Forum," said Inman.
Weibel (8-1) will face Inman for his CWFC debut on the back of a 3-0 streak in 2013, with all three victories coming inside the very first round.
The 27-year-old Swiss prospect, who has taken all of his wins by submission, said: "I'm really excited about the opportunity to fight for the biggest promotion in Europe. It has been a dream for me and I'm looking forward to testing myself."
Also added to CWFC 64 is a women's strawweight bout between Kirsty Davis and Veera Nykanen, a lightweight clash between David Howell and Brad Wheeler, as well as the meeting of Andy Kerr and Charlie Watts, which will be contested at welterweight.
Meanwhile, an injury has forced Dave Lee out of his CWFC 64 bout against Nad Narimani, so highly-rated Swiss featherweight Benjamin Brander steps in to fill the vacancy.
Scott Pooley has also picked up an injury so Spencer Hewitt will now take on Cameron Else instead at a catchweight of 130lbs.
Tickets for Cage Warriors 64, priced from just £25 (plus booking fee), are available to purchase.
