About the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first organization to hold a legal, sanctioned and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since 1889. BKFC is based in Philadelphia and is led by President and former professional boxer David Feldman. The association’s goal is to preserve the historical legacy of bare knuckle fighting using a specially created set of rules that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC holds all of its fights in a revolutionary four-rope circular ring designed to facilitate fast and exciting bouts. Based on the Broughton Rules that governed bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, BKFC’s patented “Squared Circle” includes scratch lines that require fighters to “stay in line”: to begin each round face-to-face and just inches apart.

BKFC only allows fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing or Muay Thai to compete. Referees and judges must have extensive experience in professional combat sports. All fights are conducted under the auspices and control of a sporting commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports worldwide that claim to be “bare-knuckle” but require bandages, tape and gauze, BKFC keeps its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within an inch of the knuckle. This undoubtedly makes BKFC the truest form of bare-knuckle fighting. BKFC is not only committed to creating the safest, most exciting and highest quality bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, but is also leading the way for a new, fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future that fully respects its remarkable past.
