Marbella is knocking out the summer in style, welcoming BKFC Spain 2024 for the first time. Argentine Franco Tenaglia battles Tony “Loco” Soto for the vacant lightweight belt in the main event.
Two additional Championship bouts serve as the curtain-raiser for the big one. Austin Trout fights “Bon Bon” Franco to defend his Welterweight title, while David Mundell looks to retain his Middleweight belt.
BKFC Spain 2024 festivities kick off on Thursday, October 10th, with the highly anticipated press conference. The hype continues on Friday when the fighters weigh-in, the last encounter before we get down to business in Marbella. Fight day gets underway at 1PM EDT on Saturday.
Franco Tenaglia and Tony Soto are the headline act vying for the lightweight title. Tenaglia now resides in Spain and will relish the local support. The fight marks a milestone for Soto, who is now a full-time fighter, after recently resigning as a correctional services officer.
“Loco” Soto carries a 6-0-0 record entering the fight and is the clear favorite. He is a well-rounded fighter who can easily switch tactics in the ring. However, Franco will look to use his “gritty” style to grind down Tony. Tenaglia is no slouch. He has a 3-0-0 record and the reach advantage in this duel.
