With so much political drama in boxing, and with the UFC not always having the best fight the best, bare-knuckle boxing is quickly rising the combat sports ladder, with the Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) organization taking the lead.
Since the merger of BYB Extreme and BKB, the organization has quickly established itself as the world’s largest professional bare-knuckle boxing promotion, thanks to surpassing Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in the process. Rapid global expansion, highlighted by a landmark partnership to launch BKB in Mexico, has given BKB the juice to become the king of the mountain in the bare-knuckle fight game in a very short amount of time.
Backed by a world-class leadership team and founded by legendary entrepreneur and Chairman Mike Vazquez, BKB has assembled senior executives with decades of experience building global combat sports brands across media rights, broadcasting, live events, marketing, communications, sponsorship, commercial partnerships, and international expansion. BKB’s global broadcast reaches across premium linear television and streaming platforms, including talkSPORT (UK & Ireland), VICE TV (U.S. & Canada), and Telemundo (Spanish-language audiences across the U.S.).
BKB’s television deal with VICE was the channel’s first live programming event as it shifted its focus heavily into sports.
The organization is also the most-viewed live sports property on TikTok, generating an industry-leading digital reach, engagement, and fan interaction.
BKB is also producing world-class live events in iconic cities across the globe, including Los Angeles, Miami, and London. The exclusive home of the patented Trigon ring, a revolutionary triangular fighting surface engineered to eliminate excessive clinching and retreating, creating continuous, high-intensity action unlike any other combat sport, will be producing another big event in Miami on Aug 29, headlined by Yuriorkis Gamboa.
Gamboa is a former boxing champion, having held the World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight title (Regular version) and the International Boxing Federation (IBF) featherweight title, and the WBO lightweight title, which he lost to boxing legend Terence “Bud” Crawford.
Another big reason behind BKB’s success is the fact they possess a deep and talented elite roster of world champions, boxing legends, and top contenders. Lee Selby, Paulie Malignaggi, Victor Ortiz, Yuriorkis Gamboa, the Vargas brothers, JoJo Diaz, Jade Masson-Wong, Alfredo Angulo, John Molina Jr., Lucas Browne, Cub Hawkins, and Marko Martinjak headline a roster which is consistently producing banger fights.
Unlike a lot of combat sports organizations, BKB is here to stay, as its commitment to being the best bare-knuckle organization is second to none. The organization also has the funding and the right people behind the scenes to take things to unforeseen heights in the bare-knuckle boxing game.
