The opponent this time is Kleber Bambam, champion of the first edition of Big Brother Brasil and bodybuilder, who has even participated as an actor. The celebrity has already made several promises about his performance and results against the former boxing champion, despite fighting under the rules his opponent is used to.
The last press conference before the fight marked a confusion between the two boxers, which led to aggression by the Bahian against the São Paulo native. Even so, BamBam made a point of ensuring that he is the ‘Brazilian McGregor‘, in reference to the Irish MMA fighter, classified as the most provocative in the world.
Where to watch:
The duel will be shown live on Combate, on pay-per-view. TV Globo, an open channel, will broadcast Popó x Bambam after Supercine. O Athletistic will bring the repercussions of the best post-fight moments.
