Fight UK officials recently confirmed the fight card and headliner with themmareview.co.uk.

Dino Gambatesa last fought at Cage Warriors 49 in October 2012, where he dropped a first round submission loss against Martin McDonough. Prior to that he suffered a first round KO loss against Olivier Pastor at Cage Warriors Fight Night 6 in May 2012. Gambatesa’s last victory was against Karsten Lenjoint at Fight UK 6 in February 2012, where he scored a first round TKO victory. Dino now has the chance to get himself back into the win column with a good performance against Saville.
James Saville was last in action at Shock’n'Awe 13 earlier this month, where he scored a second round submission victory over Martin Sheridan. That win snapped a two fight losing streak, which included losses to Martin Svensson and James Brum during 2012. Prior to that James had been on a six fight winning streak, defeating notable fighters such as Niko Gjoka, Leigh Remedios and Thomas Hytten. Saville will no doubt look to begin a new winning streak by defeating Gambatesa on April 20th.
