Massively popular undefeated lightweight champion Costa Ioannou captured the EFC Africa™ lightweight title at EFC Africa™ 08 and has successfully defended it since. Known as much for his vocal Greek fan base as for his devastating all-round skillset, Ioannou has completely dominated the EFC Africa™ lightweight division. However, on 1 June, Ioannou faces his toughest test yet in Adam Speechly, former EFC Africa™ welterweight champion. After losing his welterweight title in a closely contested 5-round battle at EFC Africa™ 10, Speechly has made the cut to lightweight and been given an instant title shot. He brings elite grappling and dangerous boxing to the clash with Ioannou and hopes to leave the cage with his second EFC Africa™ title.
At featherweight, current champion Demarte ‘The Wolf’ Pena will need every tool at his disposal to stop the whirlwind of destruction that is Wesley ‘The Young Assassin’ Hawkey. Pena captured the title at EFC Africa™ 10 with a dominant wrestling display, and EFC Africa™ 14 presents his first opportunity to defend his title. On the same night that Pena became champion, Wesley Hawkey made his EFC Africa™ debut, winning by submission in under two minutes. So far he has won three EFC Africa™ bouts in stunning fashion, making short work of all opponents and advancing a step closer to title contention with each first round finish. Now, just one hurdle remains, but ‘The Wolf’ vows to fight tooth and claw to retain his title.
