The elimination World Championship Tournament will see an international mix of some of the best Middleweight fighters on the planet, including #1 ranked contender Artem “The Lion” Levin (69-5-1, 31 KOs) of Russia, the pride of England Stephen “The Surgeon” Wakeling (37-4-1, 15 KOs), hometown favorite Joe Schilling (13-5, 10 KOs), and from the Netherlands, Jason Wilnis (19-2-1, 4 KOs).
