Top UK MMA prospect Norbert Novenyi Jr has booked his first American fight since before the coronavirus pandemic on the undercard of Bellator 297 against Kamil Oniszczuk.
Mirror Fighting can confirm that the London Shootfighters middleweight will travel to Chicago for a prominent spot on the June 16 card underneath the legendary Yoel Romero's effort at light-heavyweight gold against Vadim Nemkov. He faces 9-2 Pole Oniszczuk, who most recently was out against Costello Van Steenis last October in a losing Bellator debut.
Novenyi Jr is famously a teammate of YouTube star KSI, and will be in the corner for his fellow London Shootfighter's bout with Joe Fournier at the OVO Arena Wembley on May 13. He'll then travel to America for his first bout since 2019 on US soil, and his second of the year after a lengthy layoff.
