Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Announces $25 Million Tournament, Darren Till's Next Fight, and Mike Perry's Status The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is set to launch its most ambitious event yet, a $25 million open-weight tournament scheduled for 2027. Founder David Feldman confirmed the project’s official status during a recent interview with Uncrowned’s The Ariel Helwani Show, revealing that all logistical details have been finalized. Feldman emphasized the significance of the partnership with a major broadcasting network, which is expected to be announced soon. “We signed a deal last week with the network. Signed, sealed and delivered,” Feldman said, highlighting the network’s prominence and its potential to elevate the promotion’s global profile. The tournament, initially planned for 2026, was postponed after Feldman acknowledged the complexity of executing such a high-stakes event. Originally designed to feature 64 fighters competing throughout the year, the tournament will culminate in a grand finale to crown a champion. While Feldman did not disclose specifics about the structure, he expressed confidence that further details will be shared in the coming weeks. The event represents a significant step for BKFC, which has been working to expand its reach and credibility in the combat sports landscape. Darren Till, a former UFC welterweight contender, made his BKFC debut this past weekend with a dominant second-round knockout of Aaron Chalmers. The victory marked Till’s first fight under the BKFC banner and extended his undefeated streak since leaving the UFC in 2023. Feldman praised Till’s performance, noting the strong viewership and social media engagement generated by the bout.#conor_mcgregor #uncrowned #bare_knuckle_fighting_championship #david_feldman #ariel_helwani
