knuckle combat sport. Athletes toe the line in the Squared Circle

About Bare Knuckle Fighting
Championship (BKFC)
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion
allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle
event in the United States since 1889. Based in Philadelphia, and
headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman,
BKFC is dedicated to preserving the historical legacy of bare
knuckle fighting, while utilizing a specifically created rule set
that emphasizes fighter safety. BKFC holds all of its bouts in a
revolutionary circular four-rope ring, designed to encourage
fast-paced and exciting bouts. The patented BKFC “Squared Circle”
contains scratch lines, based on the Broughton Rules which governed
bare knuckle fighting in the 19th century, and which requires
fighters to “Toe the Line”: start every round face to face, and
just inches apart.
In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals
in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete.
The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional
combat sports experience. All fights are held under the auspices
and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting
organizations and combat sports internationally which claim to be
“bare knuckle”, but require wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to
its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within
one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest
form of bare knuckle fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just
creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle
fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a
new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the
sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.
