About Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion licensed to hold a legal, sanctioned and regulated bare-knuckle fighting event in the United States since 1889. Based in Philadelphia and led by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of unarmed combat, while utilizing a specially created set of rules that emphasize fighter safety. BKFC stages all of its fights in a revolutionary four-rope circular ring, designed to encourage fast-paced, exciting fights. BKFC’s patented “Squared Circle” contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton rules that governed bare-knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which require fighters to “toe the line”: start each round facing each other and just a few centimeters from each other.

At BKFC, only fighters who are proven professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. Referees and judges must have extensive professional experience in combat sports. All fights take place under the auspices and control of a sports commission. Unlike other combat organizations and combat sports internationally that claim to be “bare-handed”, but require wraps, tape and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands within an inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC arguably the truest form of unarmed combat. BKFC is not only dedicated to creating the safest, most exciting, highest-level unarmed combat organization in the world, but it is also paving the way for a new, fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.
