🎟 Grab tickets at http://www.MLWNYC.com and at Eventbrite.
The tension between the BOMAYE powerhouse and highly hyped titan has been building ever since AJ Franci$ disrupted a powerful moment between Alex Kane and Mr. Thomas on The Burning CRUSH MLW special last week, and now the stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions.
Mr. Thomas of the Bomaye Fight Club has made it clear that he will not tolerate the disrespect shown by AJ Franci$.
Following discussions between Saint Laurent, Don King, and MLW officials, a hoss fight has been finalized, pitting the Bomaye Fight Club against the World Titan Federation and setting the scene for Mr. Thomas to shut up Franci$…. or see Franci$ step up and conquer in his debut.
With Mr. Thomas renowned for his masterful strategic fight plans and Franci$’s reputation as an ex-NFL player turned influencer/entertainer in the world of sports and entertainment, the stage is set for a battle that promises to be a powerhouse powder keg.
This bout will be a featured match as a part of the beIN SPORTS TV taping.
