About Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion
allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle
event in the United States since
1889. Based in Philadelphia, and
headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving
the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting, while utilizing a
specifically created rule set that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC
holds all of its bouts in a revolutionary circular four-rope ring,
designed to encourage fast-paced and exciting bouts. The patented
BKFC "Squared Circle" contains scratch lines, based on the
Broughton Rules which governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th
century, and which requires fighters to "Toe the Line": start every
round face to face, and just inches apart.
In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals
in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay
Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are
required to have extensive professional combat sports experience.
All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic
Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports
internationally which claim to be "bare knuckle", but require
wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are
not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle.
This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle
fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most
exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in
the world, it's also leading the way for a new fully recognized
professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future,
which fully respects its remarkable past.
