Nigel Crosswell Makes Highly Anticipated Return at AFP 101: First Fight Night

Hamilton, ON – CURRENT•LY Global is thrilled to announce that our client, Canadian flyweight fighter Nigel “The Blacklion” Crosswell, will make his long-awaited return to the cage at AFP 101: First Fight Night. The event will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the Irongate Equestrian Center in Hartford, Ohio, where Nigel is set to face Alex “Aleko” Poinar in a highly anticipated matchup.

This bout marks Nigel’s first official return to competition following his withdrawal from BTC 26: Rumble in the Rapids in November 2024 due to a health condition. While his absence was deeply felt by fans and the MMA community, Nigel has used the time to recover, refocus, and prepare for this pivotal moment in his career.

Known for his devastating clinch knee KO at BTC 20, Nigel “The Black Lioin” is eager to remind the world of his explosive fighting style and resilience. His return to the cage not only signifies a comeback but also a renewed sense of determination to establish himself as a formidable force in the flyweight division.

Tickets for AFP 101: First Fight Night are available now, and fans are encouraged to secure their seats to witness Nigel’s comeback.
