The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is set to make its Middle East debut at Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on 4 and 5 April, following a high-profile press conference at Burj Al Arab. The event, organised by World League of Fighters (WLF) in partnership with Dubai Sports Council, marks a pivotal moment for the sport’s global expansion.
Fans can expect a star-studded fight event featuring former boxing world champion Austin Trout versus Carlos 'Snake' Trinidad fighting for the Welterweight title, followed by Britain Hart defending her Strawweight belt against Tai Emery on 4 April. On 5 April, Tommy Strydom goes against Kai Stewart for the Featherweight title and Hannah Rankin and Jessica Borga fight in a women’s showdown. You can book your tickets on BKFC's official website. Ticket prices start from Dhs 359.10.
Expressing heartfelt tribute to the WLF and BKFC, Eisa Mohammed Sharif, Director of Events at Dubai Sports Council, said, "We would like to thank World League of Fighters for bringing the BKFC event for the very first time in Dubai. I believe this combat sport is growing tremendously, and we just want to see it grow here in the region, while we continue supporting it as Dubai Sports Council to witness the greatest fighters of all time to be here in Dubai and combat the challenge."
