NEW YORK – May 31, 2022 – Combate Global and Gabriel Soto have announced that the famed, two-time award-winning Mexican actor will compete in a special exhibition boxing bout promoted by the premier Hispanic Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization on Saturday, Sept. 24, live on Univision and TUDN USA from Miami, Fla.
The boxing fight will be contested as a five-round contest and will take place in La Jaula, the circular-shaped competition cage in which Combate Global’s MMA bouts regularly occur.
“I’m a big boxing fan, a super MMA fan, and now I’m going to have the opportunity to become a fighter,” said Soto, the star of Univision’s hit telenovela Soltero con Hijas and Mexican telenovela Amor Dividido.
Along with the announcement, Soto issued a public challenge to fellow actor Mario Lopez. “I think (Lopez) could be a very good opponent, so I want to fight him.
“Signing Gabriel Soto is a major achievement for Combate Global,” said Campbell McLaren, Combate Global CEO. “To give this talented and world-famous actor a chance to put it all on the line is an honor.”
Soto, who hails from Mexico City, also announced that he will be donating a portion of his earnings from the bout to charity.
An avid boxing enthusiast who has been training and sparring for years, Soto is also the founder of a non-profit organization, “No Tires La Toalla,” devoted to helping young boxers get their respective careers off the ground.
Combate Global will announce further details about the event and broadcast featuring Soto at a later date.
