In other featured bouts, Irish favorite Philip Mulpeter (7-4) returns to welterweight for what's set to be an explosive clash with heavy-hitting Englishman Jake Bostwick (15-8, 1NC), who searches for his ninth consecutive victory. An All-Irish lightweight tussle will see Paul Redmond (9-4) lock horns with Greece's Alexis "The Furious Kid" Savvidis (8-1) and following his two-fight stint with Bellator, Andrew Fisher (12-6-1) will make his Cage Warriors debut against Artem Lobov (9-10, 1NC).

The 26-year-old, who was a contestant on the twelfth season of The Ultimate Fighter, holds submission wins over current UFC stars Norman Parke and Conor McGregor. "I can't wait to put some new skills on show for one of the best promotions in the world, especially in front of a home crowd," said Duffy. "It's going to be a cracker." Lapilus will provide an extremely difficult challenge for Duffy, as the 25-year-old Frenchman aims to stretch his unbeaten run to six bouts. With just one loss in his last ten outings - which came at the hands of unbeaten Finnish star Teemu Packalen - Lapilus has carved out a reputation as one of Europe's top prospects, having competed on highly-regarded events in France, Belgium, Finland and Sweden. The clash with Duffy will be the fourth fight of 2014 for Lapilus, who has already picked up wins over Zyad Abada and Jean Francois Darmazil, as well as a draw with Daguir Imavov, so far this year. Lapilus said: "This will be a big challenge for me but I'm excited for it. Fighting on this event for Cage Warriors is a great opportunity which I'm really looking forward to."
