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
Tyson Fury Faces Arslanbek Makhmudov in High-Stakes Boxing Showdown Tyson Fury, the former heavyweight world champion, is set to make his latest return from retirement in a highly anticipated matchup against Arslanbek Makhmudov at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The main event of Saturday’s card will be broadcast live on Netflix, with the undercard streaming on Uncrowned starting at 10:30 a.m. ET. Fury, who has a professional record of 34-2-1 with 24 knockouts, is a significant betting favorite (-650) on BetMGM, while Makhmudov, a relatively unknown fighter with a record of 21-2 and 19 KOs, steps into what could be the defining moment of his career. The fight, scheduled for 2 p.m. ET, marks Fury’s first appearance since his return to the ring in 2023. The 34-year-old, known for his power and technical skill, will face Makhmudov in a five-fight main card that also includes other high-profile bouts. The undercard features a diverse lineup of fighters across weight classes, including a super lightweight clash between Breyon Gorham (21-0, 16 KOs) and Eduardo Costa (12-5, 5 KOs), as well as flyweight action between Mikie Tallon (12-0, 2 KOs) and Leandro Jose Blanc (8-4, 3 KOs). Additional bouts include a super middleweight showdown between Simon Zachenhuber (28-0, 17 KOs) and Pawel August (17-0, 7 KOs), along with middleweight, super featherweight, and welterweight matchups. Fury’s return to the ring has been a major topic of discussion in the boxing world, with fans and analysts closely following his progress. His previous comeback in 2023 saw him defeat Dillian Whyte, but the 34-year-old has faced criticism for his slow start in some recent fights. This matchup against Makhmudov, however, is expected to be a test of his ability to adapt to new challenges.#netflix #tyson_fury #tottenham_hotspur_stadium #arslanbek_makhmudov #uncrowned
