BKB and BKFC have been battling it out for hierarchical placement in the bare-knuckle boxing world, with both set to showcase big cards on the same day near month’s end. Their efforts breaking ground with TikTok saw BKB record the highest watch time for any combat sport in the platform’s history. Plus, Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa will drop the gloves for his first foray into gloveless combat set for BKB 58. Gamboa will battle Yesner Talavera in the former’s bare-knuckle debut set to emanate from Florida. Also on August 29th, Aspen Ladd will make her BKB debut after a successful debut in BKFC when Ladd battles ex-welterweight title challenger Bianca Daimoni.
