 Royal MMA has quickly established itself as a rising force in the combat sports world. Based in London and only a few months into its existence, the promotion has already seen fierce competition across its weight classes. Here’s a rundown of the current champions and the fighters set to compete for vacant titles.
135lb - Vacant
The bantamweight division is still awaiting its first champion, but that will change on April 5, 2025, when Gracjan Muszkowski and Frenk Casteel go head-to-head. Both fighters boast undefeated 3-0 records and a striking-heavy approach. Muszkowski, fighting out of Fight Club in LA, is known for his confident and aggressive style, securing all of his wins via TKO. Casteel, meanwhile, has demonstrated serious knockout power, finishing two of his three opponents with devastating strikes. This title fight promises fireworks.
145lb - Rory Curtis
Rory Curtis (9-0) has dominated the featherweight division since joining Royal MMA. Hailing from Sheffield, Curtis is a submission specialist with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. After leaving MMA Helsinki as their reigning champion, he secured the Royal MMA featherweight title in his debut and has already defended it once. With another title defense on the horizon, Curtis remains the man to beat at 145 pounds.
155lb - Krzesimir Boryszko
Krzesimir Boryszko (3-0) has been a dominant presence in the lightweight division. Fighting out of Ryki, Poland, and training with Fight Club in LA, Boryszko has showcased elite striking and knockout power. With most of his wins coming via TKO, he has quickly established himself as a serious threat to anyone looking to take his belt.
170lb - Iskender Aliev
With a record of 6-1, Iskender Aliev has proven himself as a submission artist. Coming from Baku, Azerbaijan, Aliev combines his purple belt in BJJ with the traditional Azerbaijani wrestling style of Gyulesh. His ability to finish fights in the first round has made him one of the most dangerous champions in Royal MMA.
185lb - Rickety Cricket
One of the most intriguing fighters in Royal MMA, Rickety Cricket (3-0) has an unconventional path to the octagon, having previously been a priest before switching to professional fighting. Unlike many of his fellow champions, Cricket has gone the distance in all three of his fights, relying on judges’ scorecards. He set a Royal MMA record by throwing over 250 punches in his last bout, though improving his accuracy could make him even more formidable.
205lb - Tadeusz Sroka
Another rising Polish powerhouse from Team Fight Club in LA, Tadeusz Sroka (3-0) has built his reputation on first-round finishes. Known for his devastating right hand, none of his opponents have lasted past the opening round. His ability to end fights early makes him one of the most feared champions in Royal MMA.
265lb - Cam Aspinall
Newcastle’s own Cam Aspinall (4-0) is the king of the heavyweight division, known for his durability and knockout power. His last two fights ended in brutal KOs, solidifying his reputation as a fighter who can absorb punishment and deliver fight-ending blows. His first title defense against Kamari Powell will be a massive test of his championship mettle.
265lb+ - Vacant
Royal MMA is currently running the Super Heavy Series, a tournament designed to crown the first-ever Super Heavyweight Champion. With some of the hardest hitters in the promotion vying for the belt, the division’s inaugural champion will need to prove they belong at the top of the food chain.
As Royal MMA continues its rapid ascent, these champions represent the best the promotion has to offer. With upcoming title fights and challengers hungry to take their shot, the landscape of the organization is sure to evolve in thrilling fashion.
