Kevin Ferguson Jr, eldest son of late fighter Kimbo Slice, will make his Bellator debut next month. The information was anticipated by the “Associated Press” news agency.

Ferguson, 23, has yet to make his professional MMA debut. On his resume, the young athlete only has one amateur fight, in March this year, which he won by technical knockout in just a few seconds. Kimbo's son's opponent on the card has not yet been defined. Bellator 160 will take place on August 26, in the city of Anaheim, California (USA).

PUBLICITY:

Kimbo Slice died in early June, at the age of 42, after being rushed to hospital with heart and liver problems. He had already had two fights in Bellator, with one win and one no-contest, and was expected to perform in the organization's debut in England this month.
