“Legionarius” first Italian on a ring from the Statuitense circuit. BKFC Italy also confirms the event scheduled for October 25th in Rome

July 16 – 13:06 – MILAN

Alessio Sakara, nicknamed “Legionarius”, will be the first Italian to climb a ring of the BKFC discipline in the city of Philadelphia. A well -known person in the MMA and historical face of the UFC, he will fight his first match in the US circuit Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. The appointment is set for Friday 25 July in Philadelphia, in the category of light maximums, against the American Erick Lozano. “I fought everywhere, but now I feel that this is my true return to the origins. Blood, sweat, honor. No gloves to separate yourself from the truth,” said Sakara. The meeting, which will be broadcast live on world streaming, promises to be one of the most anticipated events of American summer.

Italian stage

But that’s not all: BKFC Italy has made official the next Italian stage of the Promotion, which will be held on October 25 in Rome. A return expected after the great success of the Florence event, which confirms Italy as one of the key countries in the European BKFC strategy. For Sakara Philadelphia will be a challenge to very high intensity, which will sanction the international debut of the former Roman Fighter in boxing with bare hands, under the aegis of the promotion BKFC. Sakara is known in Italy not only for her sporting successes, but also for her personality outside the ring, built through years of television, interviews and authentic testimonies. “I’m not going to America for a catwalk. I’m going to fight. I’m going to win. I go to show that Italy has real warriors. Lozano is strong, but I am Sakara. The ring will judge us.”
