DAVAO CITY – Super featherweight Mark “Machete” Bernaldez of Gen. Santos City will fight Juan "Loquito" Kantun of Mexico on July 9 at the Airport Hilton in Miami, Florida.
Bernaldez tipped the scales at 129 lbs. while Kantun scaled at 131 lbs.
The 27-year-old Bernaldez (22W-4L-0D, 16KOs) will be making his 7th outing in the US since 2019.
In his last fight, Bernaldez scored a TKO in the 6th round against Hector Ruben Ambriz Suarez of Mexico on March 26 at the Media Pro Studios in Medley.
