Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) founder David Feldman has confirmed the promotion's massive $25 million openweight tournament is officially set to take place in 2027. After initial plans were delayed, all necessary details have reportedly been finalized.
A significant network deal has been secured for broadcasting the tournament, with an announcement expected imminently. The ambitious event originally planned for 64 fighters competing for a grand prize.
In other news, BKFC is eager to promote more fights for recent debutant Darren Till, who secured a dominant knockout. Feldman hopes to book Till for a September event in Manchester.
A highly anticipated bout between Till and Mike Perry is still a possibility, despite Perry's recent boxing match and contractual complexities. Feldman expressed confidence in eventually making the fight happen.
BKFC also maintains interest in Conor McGregor potentially fighting for the promotion once his UFC contract concludes. Feldman believes McGregor would be motivated to boost BKFC's profile.
