With BitBoy and Ansem expressing their eagerness for another showdown, the stage is set to settle things once and for all in future CFN events.
In the co-main event, Grimace delivered a masterclass in power and precision as he claimed the WBC Crypto Heavyweight World Champion title with a stunning knockout victory over JChains in the second round. Employing calculated aggression, Grimace overwhelmed his opponent, landing a devastating right hook that secured the KO and sent the crowd into a frenzy.
