Swedish fight organization Muay Thai For Life just announced their first fight for the upcoming MTFL 4 event that will take place in Malmö on December 10.
Malmö-born professional MMA fighter Christopher Bajo, who’s a former Swedish Muay Thai Champion, will return to Muay Thai to face Mustafa Aboutaka from Helsingborg in a classic derby between the rival cities.
The promotion’s last event, MTFL 3.0, became historic as the first-ever Muay Thai event to be broadcasted on DAZN, one of the leaders in global sports media. Landing a deal with the major platform was huge for the expansion of the MTFL series and Scandinavian Muay Thai overall.
“DAZN is like Netflix for fight fans. They have millions of subscribers and have broadcasted some of the world’s biggest boxing fights through the last couple of years, making a massive impact on the sport of boxing. They’ve since added a variety of other sporting events to their major streaming platform and will now start offering Muay Thai action to their viewers as well, with MTFL breaking new ground as the very first Muay Thai series to be featured on DAZN,” Patrick Thomsen, founder of Lingnoi Promotions and MTFL promoter, told Frontkick in September.
