Invicta Fighting Championships is headed to Beantown as the world’s premier combat sports organization for women will make its East Coast debut on October 27, 2023 at the Citizens House of Blues in Boston, Massachusetts, USA with Invicta FC 54: McCormack vs. Wójcik. The event will feature the first title defense for strawweight champion Danni “Mac” McCormack (7-2), who collides with Polish challenger Karolina “Polish Assassin” Wójcik (11-3). Both fighters were in action at Invicta FC 52 in March with McCormack making history as the promotion’s first Irish champion by dethroning Brazilian Valesca Machado after five hard-fought rounds. Wójcik, meanwhile, edged out Brazilian Ediana Silva in the co-main event to claim No. 1 contender status.
In the night’s co-main event, the former Invicta strawweight champion Valesca “Tina Black” Machado (12-4) will meet Isis “Fight Queen” Verbeek (4-2). Machado’s title defeat snapped a four-fight winning streak and the 28-year-old will be eager to get back into title contention. Holland’s Verbeek, who now calls Florida home, will make her third appearance under the Invicta banner and hopes to build off a decision win over Melissa Oddessa at Invicta FC 48. Also on the card, recent flyweight title challenger Kristina “Warhorse” Williams (6-4) welcomes Ireland’s Dee Begley (4-2) to the organization, Massachusetts native Hilarie Rose (6-6) takes on fellow strawweight newcomer Andrea Amaro (3-2) of Texas, and Germany’s Julia Dorny (2-1) collides with “Rad” Riley Martinez (2-0) of Idaho in a featherweight contest.
Invicta FC 54: McCormack vs. Wójcik will be aired live on AXS TV in the U.S., Fight Network in Canada, Fox Sports in Mexico, Globo’s Combate in Brazil, DirecTV across Latin America, Viaplay, Match TV in Europe, Star Times across Africa and Invicta’s official YouTube Channel and Facebook Page for the rest of the globe starting at 8:00 pm ET/7:00 pm CT/6:00 pm MT/5:00 pm PT (Saturday, October 28, 8:00 am PHT/HKT/SGT).
