After putting on Allstars Fight Night 5 at Coloseum, the promotion will return to their home turf in Solna AFN 6 on April 27.
The card is not yet announced, however, no fewer than three champs will fight on the card. The reigning bantamweight champion Liam Pitts will make a quick return after defeating Finnish champion Tufan Ahmadi via unanimous decision. The fight marks the second defense for Pitts.
At the moment, there are no words on who the amateur champion will face at AFN 6.

“Machete” returns to action
Featherweight pro champion and fan favorite Sakhi Qambari will also return to action to defend his belt. ”Machete” won the inaugural title at AFN 4 when he stopped Finland’s Hama Dara. Qambari has four straight wins and is one of the most entertaining and interesting featherweights in Scandinavia.
Amaterur light heavyweight champion Najib Adams will also make a quick comeback after his massive head kick win at AFN 5. At the moment it’s not known who he will fight or if the fight will be amateur or pro.
Besides the amateur and pro title fights, we will also see the semifinals in the amateur featherweight tournament with Anton Ringvall, Elias Ksia, Elshod Aanvarov and George Youssef.
“You have already noticed that we’re all about shaking things up and doing things differently, and AFN 6 will be no exception. With that said we would like to remind you that our next event will contain its regular fight card but also the semifinals of the featherweight tournament,” AFN wrote on Instagram.
