Stew Martin is a lightweight bare-knuckle fighter from Bolton, England, who made an immediate statement in his BKFC debut. Martin faced fellow newcomer Jordan Burnett at BKFC Fight Night Newcastle in March 2026 and earned a first-round TKO victory after scoring two knockdowns; Burnett’s corner stopped the contest at the end of the opening round.

Competing at 154.8 pounds for the bout, Martin entered BKFC’s lightweight division with the physicality to make an early impact. His debut performance was brief but decisive: he created knockdown opportunities, applied enough damage to force a corner stoppage, and showed a clear willingness to press the action rather than allow the fight to settle into a long-range rhythm.
