With the Call of Duty League landing in blighty this weekend what better way to celebrate that event than landing a star London based footballer for your 2v2 celebrity Hype Battle series?
Well, that’s exactly what’s set to happen this Sunday. The 20-year-old Chelsea full back will take part in the Hype Battle during the London Royal Ravens' home series at Copper Box Arena.
Reece James will be joined by EDM star DJ Nicky Romero. They'll also be doing a set at the event and Call of Duty League's Matthew “Skrapz” Marshall and Bradley “wuskin” Marshall, the twin brothers who play with the London Royal Ravens.
Reece James has been a standout star in the 2019-20 season for Chelsea. He’s made a name for himself under manager Frank Lampard. James has played 22 games already this season, with two goals and four assists to his name. He also has the title of youngest Chelsea player to score in the Champions League. He'll be eying a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the 2020 European Championships which gets underway at the end of the European football season’s.
With the Call of Duty League heading to its second event of the year, London looks set to be another entertaining event if the last CDL London event at the Copper Box Arena is anything to go by.
