the story of Franco Tenaglia (Burjaco, Argentina, 1996) suitable for Guy Ritchie’s film. “From Snatch. Pigs and Diamonds,'” he insisted. Last April he was crowned European Bare Knuckle Lightweight Champion After a win in Milton Keynes (England) against local James Lilley. Now, months later, Aspires to win the lightweight world title against Tony ‘Loco’ Soto. It will be in Marbella next October 12. A ‘main event’ of an evening will go down in history.
“This is the fight of my life. The opponent will come to enemy territory for him and he is going to leave everything. The most important thing for me is that I get to be in front of a lot of people that I love. People come from Argentina just to fight. You are going to see the best version of Franco Tenaglia,” he warned in front of the MARCA microphones. Now he lives an “ascetic” life, as he warned this medium. He stays away from social media and any distractions. The focus is on adjusting the weight and getting in the best possible shape. In presenting the best version of you.
That was the struggle of my life. The opponent will come to enemy territory for him and he is going to leave everything
Tenaglia, in Alicante and A member of the Clement Club (the Kliment brothers’ gym that ‘launched’ Ilya Topuria to stardom), climbed a long way to get to this place. He did everything and fought against everything. He went viral after his stint on Jordi Wilde’s channel, where he chronicled his life and beginnings, as well as participating in DWT (a popular content creator’s MMA event)… Not forgetting fights in gypsy caravans in Wales (à la ‘Snatch’, of course) or ‘King of the Streets’, an underground league whose organizers or recording dates are unknown. He is, well, the king of the street. He is invincible. “MMA without rules. It’s the craziest thing ever. That was my tool to get to where I am now,” he told Marca.
I did MMA without rules. It’s the craziest thing ever. That was my tool to get to where I am now.
Now wait for Tony ‘Loco’ Soto. “I’m a fighter from the street. After many fights you see a fighter in his eyes. I didn’t see anything in his eyes that worried me. I’m sure I’m going to go over it. Americans are very loose, and it’s a little easier in the United States than other places,” he says.
McGregor, meanwhile, watches. His company has a diamond in Tenaglia. An emperor for boxing without gloves.
