Darragh Kelly captures lightweight title at Clan Wars

written by Chris McNulty June 6, 2021
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint

DARRAGH Kelly won the Clan Wars lightweight title yesterday afternoon.

Kelly defeated Solomon Simon via a round two submission to capture the title at Clan Wars 39.

The Moville man had won the featherweight title last February with a stoppage of Carl Gallagher.

After signing with John Kavamagh’s Straight Blast Gym following that win, Kelly returned to the cage with a defeat of Abdullghahar Tajik in Germany.

Yesterday’s Clan Wars card had been postponed in the spring, but Kelly took the belt.

A D’arce choke in the second round earned Kelly the prize.

After improving his record to 9-0, the 23-year-old wants to compete at the IMMAF World Championships before moving into the professional game.

Clan Wars 39 and Clan Wars 40 were held back-to-back at the Crowne Plaza with Letterkenny’s Jordan Furey recording a win as part of the evening card.

Furey defeated Jess Paulo when the referee stepped in to call a halt just shy of three minutes into the second round. Fighting here at a catchweight of 162 lbs, Furey extends his record to 3-0.
