Empire Fight Series proudly presents a high-stakes professional clash for the WMC Lightweight State Title, as James Gifford squares off against Reece Corrigan in a 5 x 3 round war at 61 kg. Originally scheduled to face Liam Gerrans, Gifford now welcomes an even greater challenge following a late opponent change — and the stakes have never been higher.
James Gifford returns from a 10-month journey through Thailand, where he immersed himself in the birthplace of Muay Thai to sharpen every facet of his game. Across the ring stands battle hardened Reece Corrigan. With 13 fights and a fearless approach, Corrigan steps in with a shot at adding the prestigious WMC title to his collection. Tradition meets tenacity — will Gifford’s Thai-honed technique prevail, or will Corrigan’s momentum prove unstoppable? One thing’s certain: this title bout is pure fireworks in the making.
