Franco Tenaglia He had several goals in mind… and little by little he is achieving each of them. The European lightweight champion in Bare Knuckle (bare-knuckle boxing in the company co-owned by Conor McGregor) He will aspire to the World throne on October 12 in Marbella against Tony ‘Loco’ Soto at the Marbella Arena.
The Argentine fighter based in Alicante, trains at the Climent Club, the gym that has made Ilia Topuria a UFC champion, complies with his two goals for 2024: fight for the world belt… and fight on Spanish soil.
An event that promises a lot in a company on the rise, especially since McGregor became a shareholder as one of the owners of the promoter. The Irishman had already made it clear a few weeks ago that his idea was to bring Bare Knuckle to Spain. And he has complied.
“Where will we do it? I don’t know. We will have an event in Marbella. But of course, it’s just a proposal, maybe yes, maybe no,” he commented. Now, however, it is a reality.
It is worth remembering that Franco Tenaglia has an MMA fight scheduled for next June 29 at the Alicante Bullring in War. A fantastic preparation before assaulting the Bare Knuckle title in October.
