Cage Warriors have announced the signing of top Irish prospect, Maximus Lally.

Max had a stellar amateur career at 9-0 and turned pro last year.

Training out of SBG Naas, he competed in several tournaments and captured multiple amateur titles in this time period.

Since turning pro, Lally has fought three times under the Cage Legacy banner.

The highly regarded amateur has delivered as a pro with three wins and three first-round finishes.

He's now set to join the promotion where he's expected to make his debut at the start of the new year.

Lally said in the announcement that he's excited to get to work, following in the footsteps of the likes of Conor McGregor, Ian Garry and Caolan Loughran who have all passed through the promotion.

"New weight class in the biggest promotion in Europe. I'm looking forward to cementing my name among past and present Irish greats. Is mise eire!"
