BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing to debut in Mexico with Tijuana event

BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing is expanding into Latin America with its first event outside the United States and United Kingdom. Scheduled for September 19 in Tijuana, Mexico, BKB 59 marks the promotion's official debut in the country.

The expansion is supported by a long-term partnership with Zanfer Promotions, a major Latin American boxing promoter. This collaboration aims to establish a multi-event presence in the region, leveraging Mexico's established combat sports culture to grow the bare-knuckle discipline.

The event at the Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana will feature two world championship fights. In the main event, Tijuana-based Julian Fernandez will defend his BKB Super Cruiserweight World Championship against Dan Podmore. The co-main event features Cecy Ulloa competing against Andy Nguyen for the vacant BKB Super Flyweight World Championship.
