Bare Knuckle Boxing international expansion

Overview

Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) has announced international expansion through upcoming events in Mexico and England.

In Mexico, BKB 59 is scheduled for September 19 in Tijuana at the Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana. This event marks the promotion’s official debut in the country and its first expansion outside the United States and United Kingdom. Facilitated by a long-term partnership with Zanfer Promotions, the event features two world championship bouts: Julian Fernandez defending his BKB Super Cruiserweight World Championship against Dan Podmore, and Cecy Ulloa competing against Andy Nguyen for the vacant BKB Super Flyweight World Championship.

In the United Kingdom, BKB 60 is set for October 10 at the Utilita Arena Newcastle. The event features a main event where BKB Super Welterweight World Champion Rolando Dy defends his title against Scott McHugh, following the withdrawal of Mick Terrill due to a fight-related injury.
