BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing makes its debut in Nashville, Tennessee one week from today on Saturday, June 21 when it hosts BKB 42: Music City Brawl at The Pinnacle. Tune in to main card live at 8 PM ET on VICE (US, Canada) or talkSPORT (UK, Ireland). Outside of those countries, you can watch on BKB's Facebook page. For all ways to watch, visit bkbbareknuckle.com/watch.
The event will mark the first live professional bare knuckle boxing event hosted in Tennessee since the state legalized the sport in March of this year. The historic card will feature eight current or former bare knuckle boxing world champions from around the world showcasing their talents in BKB’s three-sided patented ring, the Mighty Trigon, the smallest fighting surface in combat sports.
Headlining the card will be one of the biggest fights in bare knuckle history when BKB two-division champion, South Africa’s Lorawnt-T “Smash” Nelson defends his Super Middleweight title against the only man to defeat him, 7-0 Sam “The Caveman” Liera. The fight will be a rematch of their 2022 Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame Match of the Year when Liera defeated Nelson for the interim BKB Super Middleweight championship. In the co-main event, BKB Welterweight champion Javon "Wolfman" Wright defends his title against 7-2 Carlos Guerra.
Official weights from June 20th weigh-ins are listed below.
