David Feldman and his Bare Knuckle FC promotion are planning an even bigger 2025 than 2024 was. That includes a massive fight tournament while expanding to new countries around the globe.
Along with bringing Conor McGregor along as a co-owner, BKFC has held some of the top events of the calendar year. But Feldman told Inside Fighting about his plans for what is to come recently.
“Really for the next year we’re going to Australia, Japan, Hungary,” Feldman said. “We’re going to do an unbelievable fight at a beautiful stadium in Italy. We’re doing some more stuff in the UK, we’re gonna open up Ireland.”
Feldman also mentioned bringing Bare Knuckle FC to Madrid, Spain and putting the action inside a stadium venue that seats between “40 to 60,000” fans.
In January, he revealed they will be announcing the “biggest fighting tournament that’s ever been in the history of the world” with action continuing through 2025.
“2025 is gonna be really the rocket ship year for us,” he said. “The year that just really takes us to a different level.”
Bare Knuckle FC Heading To Denver This Friday
Before all that happens, though, BFKC will set up shop in Denver this Friday night for an event. The action takes place from the Denver Coliseum and airs live on Prime Video and the BFKC app.
In the main event, former UFC fighter Chris Camozzi takes on Sawyer Depee for the vacant cruiserweight title. Brandon Girtz and Cameron VanCamp, Darrian Leu-Pierre and Grady Wall, and Ramiro Figueroa and Carl Deaton III are some of the other planned fights.
Following Denver there will be a quick turnaround with a prospects fight-night event on Saturday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. BKFC goes overseas to Newcastle upon Tyne, England on November 2 with the European heavyweight title and UK light heavyweight belts being decided.
