Diego is no stranger to Northern Irish fight fans as the Swiss fighter appeared on the Brawl on the Wall event in September 2007 where he stopped ProKick’s Robert McNeill on the first round.
Since then Diego has been honing his skills and now he is gunning for Mark Bird.
The only stumbling block to stop the fight from happening is the weight, Bird is sitting at 67 kilo whilst Diego is 4 kilo lighter at 63.

Negotiations are currently going on to try and make the match happen on Jerome Le Banners first promoted WKN event.
Headlining the event is Belarusian world champion Dmitry Valent defending his title against Frenchman Yohan Lidon

Now this would be yet another cracking fight showing Marks superb talents..
I suppose as a fight of this calibre becomes more experienced and known in the world of kickboxing there is going to be many more fighters out there wishing to take Mark on in the ring..
Gladly we all know Mark relishes any challenge put before and we all see just what fitness he holds.
If it goes ahead then all the best of luck Mark…
