A fan's guide
Bare-knuckle fights are shorter and more violent than gloved boxing: wrapped hands without gloves, two-minute rounds, and clinching restricted. Cuts and knockdowns are common, and many fights end early.
BKFC events stream on the promotion's own app and partner platforms.
Our take
BKFC's growth has been built on volume and stars: frequent cards, recognisable former UFC fighters, and short, violent fights. It has become the clear leader in bare-knuckle boxing.
Our caution is about matchmaking: short-notice replacements and quick finishes make for highlights but not always for meaningful results.
What's next
BKFC 96 in Glasgow (November 7) is next; KnuckleMania VII is set for Miami in February 2027.
