Anthony Foye is a professional bare-knuckle and MMA fighter from Reidsville, North Carolina, where he grew up playing football and basketball and competed in AAU basketball. Raised in a single-parent household with little support, Foye faced adversity early and was eventually kicked out of high school.

His love for martial arts started at just 5 or 6 years old after getting a karate book, and years later, while rocking his child to sleep, watching the WEC inspired him to pursue fighting. Having been involved in plenty of street fights, Foye wanted to prove himself in a legal arena and began training at Marcus Luck's Boxing Gym in Danville, developing the boxing-based style that remains the foundation of his game.

Foye began his amateur MMA career in 2015, competing in 11 amateur fights before turning professional. He currently has 4 professional MMA fights and considers himself a hybrid fighter, willing to compete across multiple weight classes in pursuit of opportunities and wins. His greatest strength is his mentality—he refuses to quit on himself.

Outside the cage and ring, Foye is a devoted father of three—two daughters and a son—and credits his kids and girlfriend as his biggest motivation. He is also a dedicated gamer, a passionate Duke Basketball fan because of JJ Redick, a Los Angeles Lakers supporter, and a longtime admirer of Kobe Bryant's competitive mindset.
