Irishman ‘JMS’ John Michael Sheil returns to action after an hiatus of over four years on St Patrick’s Day 2017 against Jason Norwood in a welterweight bout at Hard Knocks 54 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

JMS (8-1) amassed a perfect professional record through eight bouts, finishing all of his opponents in the process before losing a controversial split decision to Faycal Hucin in his last bout at Cage Warriors 49 in Wales back in October 2012.

The SBG Ireland product will face a tough test in the form of Jason Norwood (16-4) who has won four of his last five outings and holds a submission victory over Jon Kirk under the Bellator MMA banner.

Hard Knocks 54 takes place on 17th March 2017 at the Markin MacPhain Centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
