Chad Hanekom has signed for his second fight with Brave Combat Federation. Hanekom will compete in Brave 13 hosted on 9th June in the SSE Arena at Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The event marks the first time Brave Combat Federation will visit Europe.

Hanekom had previously fought in Brave 10: The Kingdom Rises in Amman, Jordan.

He faced Ikram Aliskerov from Dagestan, Russia in the Middleweight division.

The fight went the distance but Aliskerov won the bout by split decision.

The fight in Belfast is an opportunity for Hanekom to bounce back from the loss he suffered in the his first fight in Brave CF.

Though his opponent is not revealed yet, Hanekom will be competing in the Middleweight division.

Currently the South African sensation has won four out of his five fights.

Hanekom who is sponsored by Under Armor and BSN, is currently training with Richard Quan at the Fight Fit Militia in South Africa in preparation for the event.

“This is going to be for the first time that I will be fighting in Europe. I’m not superstitious, I like the number 13. People think 13 is a number that brings bad luck. I think their bad luck is my true luck. And the harder I work the luckier I get” said Hanekom.
