Overview BKB is a bare knuckle boxing promotion that fights inside the Trigon, a patented three-sided cage whose 60-degree corners force fighters to the center and take away rope-and-cage stalling. Hands are wrapped, never gloved, and a bout runs no more than six rounds; pro debuts go four rounds of two minutes. The season moves between arenas in the United States and the United Kingdom, with a 2026 stop in Tijuana. The company began in South Florida in 2015 as BYB Extreme, founded by Mike Vazquez and Dhafir 'Dada 5000' Harris, whose backyard fights had gone viral; in 2024 it bought BKB, the London promotion Jim Freeman and Joe Smith-Brown had founded, and in 2025 it took the BKB name. On site A card runs a TikTok preliminary show into the main card, and the rooms range from The Novo at L.A. Live and indigo at The O2 in London to the James L. Knight Center in Miami. The titles on the line are Police Gazette Diamond Belts, a lineage that goes back to 1881; the Miami card in August 2026 carried three of them. At the Los Angeles debut in July 2026, nine bouts finished before the final bell. The O2 admits ages 14 and up, with under-16s seated beside an adult. Audience BKB streams its preliminaries live on TikTok, and the promotion says its Cardiff card in June 2026 set a TikTok record for watch time in sports streaming, with engagement five times what traditional boxing drew on the platform. Every BKB fight, from more than 100 events, sits free on YouTube. Talent and Influencers BKB signs boxing's former champions and puts them in the Trigon. Victor Ortiz won his bare knuckle debut by unanimous decision over Dominic Salcido in Los Angeles in July 2026, on a card where JoJo Diaz stopped Nate Williams with a first-round body shot and Alfredo Angulo scored a second-round knockout. Olympic gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa debuted with a decision win in Miami in August 2026, the night Gustavo Trujillo stopped Mick Terrill in the second round to keep the heavyweight title. Lee Selby and the Vargas brothers have also signed, and Mike Goldberg and Paulie Malignaggi have called fights on the broadcast. Track record The Trigon patent was granted in December 2017. BKB sold out several cards in 2026, the Los Angeles debut among them, and the promotion listed more than 300 active fighters across its weight classes that year. Its television deals stacked up year by year: beIN SPORTS in 2023, Fight Network and Fuse in 2024, then VICE and Telemundo in 2025. Brand presence Tuff Shed signed as an official partner for the 2026-27 season, starting at the Los Angeles card, and runs across BKB's live events and broadcasts. The cards go out on VICE TV in the United States and Canada, on Telemundo in Spanish and on talkSPORT in Britain and Ireland, with the preliminaries on TikTok and the archive on YouTube.
