The card is starting to fill up for the NAAFS‘ return to its home base, as Caged Vengeance 16 is set to go down on March 7 at the Canton Civic Center in Canton, Ohio with the addition of a featherweight bout pitting veterans Wes Hanson (3-1) vs. J.P. Jaranowski (4-2).
Hanson recently announced the fight on his Facebook page, which brings the total number of pro fights on the card to three.
The West Virginia native, known as “Wild Wild Wes,” will come into the bout looking to rebound from his first loss as a professional, as he dropped a unanimous decision to Matt DiMarcantonio under the NAAFS banner in October. Prior to that, Hanson was perfect with three submissions in as many victories fighting for the Northeast Ohio-based organization.
Jaranowski, who hails from Mansfield, Ohio, has been fighting professionally since 2010, but he returned from a three-year hiatus last May to submit Wes Lane with a triangle in the third round at RFO: Big Guns 13. Jaranowski will fight for the NAAFS for the first time since 2009, when he won the organization’s bantamweight title during his 9-0 amateur career.
Caged Vengeance 16 features currently features two other pro bouts, as John Hawk will face Curt Lemmon for the organization’s heavyweight title, and lightweights George Comer and Joey Holt will square off in a battle that has been years in the making.
The next NAAFS event will be on January 31 near Toledo, as Antonio Castillo Jr. and Isaiah Chapman will square off for the organization’s bantamweight title.
