Cage Warriors has been shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the European promotion has announced it will hold three events, back-to-back, this September.

Recently the promotion’s president, Graham Boylan, tweeted out this.

September – 3 Nights – BK2BK – LIVE – Thurs, Fri & Saturday Night.
@CageWarriors
ITS ON.

The events are to take place on September 24th, 25th and 26th and in a follow-up report from MMA Junkie, Boyland was quoted saying this.

“For me, it is a no-brainer for us,” Boylan said. “We’ve been speaking to arenas and they’ve been telling us they’re not expecting crowds, or arena shows with big crowds, this side of Christmas. So when we’re hearing that from the biggest arenas in the world, telling us these things, we’re trying to pre-empt what we can do to keep the organization running, and to keep the roster busy. For some of the fighters, they’re getting no income right now. They need to compete. They need to earn money.

“With restrictions lifting in the UK and things starting to ease, we’re still three months until these show dates. So by the time these show dates come, things could ease up again. So for now it’s a behind-closed-doors event…”

Cage Warriors held its last event in London on March 20th, behind closed doors, shortly before the United Kingdom was locked down on account of the pandemic.
