#LFA235 ⚜️

LFA CEO EdSoaresPro announced today that LFA 235 will feature a new main event after an injury forced the cancellation of the previously scheduled lightweight headliner between Ilay Barzilay and Landry Ward. The promotion will now showcase a pair of high-stakes middleweight contests atop the card when LFA returns to Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky on Friday, June 19th.

In the new main event, Zayne Havener (5-2) will meet Andrew Stewart (6-1) in a three-round middleweight bout between two rising contenders looking to take a major step toward title contention. The co-main event will feature another pivotal matchup in the division as Jake Woodley (7-1) faces David Wright (6-2).

The four athletes competing in the night’s featured bouts enter Louisville at a critical moment for the division. Reigning LFA Middleweight Champion Joseph Kropschot is competing on #DWCS later this year, potentially creating a path for the next generation of contenders to emerge.

“Unfortunately, Landry Ward suffered an injury that forced us to cancel the original main event,” stated Soares. “Fortunately, we had two outstanding middleweight matchups already scheduled for this card. With Joseph Kropschot pursuing an opportunity on DWCS, these fights take on even greater significance. Havener, Stewart, Woodley, and Wright all have a chance to make a strong case for future title consideration with a big performance in Louisville.”

LFA 235, presented by MonsterEnergy, will take place Friday, June 19th at Freedom Hall in #Louisville, #Kentucky
