(Los Angeles) -  Undefeated prospect Michael “lil Warrior” Franco  has been given a clean bill of health and the ok to get back in the ring. His first order of business is to  face off against Adolfo “El Terror” Landeros, in a scheduled 8 round semi-main event televised live on the popular Spanish language network: Telefutura. The entire card is presented by Don Chargin Productions in association with Jorge Marron Productions.

The 22 year old Franco holds an impressive UNDEFEATED record of 16-0, (11KO’s), and has long been touted as a promising prospect and raising star in the Bantam and super Bantamweight divisions.

Franco dropped Guardia in the 4th round and finished him off in the 8th winning by TKO.

 

"I just want to thank my team, my strength and conditioning coach Stan Effering, for keeping my strong throughout my recovery process, and my fans. I am looking forward to Oct 22, come hell or high water I am getting in that ring and I will be fighting" Michael Franco.
