“BKFC is very excited to return to Leeds with this outstanding, international main event,” said David Feldman, President and Founder of BKFC. “Danny Christie and Jared Warren are two of the very best bare-knuckle fighters in the world and this is a true must-see fight.”
“The United Kingdom has become one of BKFC’s strongest regions for bare knuckle fighters and fans and we can’t wait to announce the rest of BKFC-55 to guarantee one of our biggest shows of the year.”
Danny Christie has quickly become one of the United Kingdom’s most popular bare-knuckle fighters debuting at BKFC-27 with an exciting third round knockout of Terry Brazier at Wembley Arena. Following that up with a first-round knockout of Darren Godfrey at BKFC Fight Night Newcastle, most recently Christie stopped Anthony Holmes on April 22, 2023 in the main event at Planet Leeds.
The hard-hitting Jared Warren was last in the squared circle rematching Josh Dyer at BKFC-47 on July 14, 2023; unfortunately, the fight between the two warriors was ruled a no-contest in the second stanza due to an illegal blow landed by Dyer.
Fighting at BKFC-32, Warren knocked out Jay Jackson in the second round, kicking off a winning streak which started with a dominant hometown decision over John Michael Escoboza at BKFC Fight Night Tampa 2. Warren also holds first round knockout victories over Scott O’Shaughnessy (BKFC Fight Night Jackson) Zion Tomlinson Sr., (BKFC-19) and Brian Maxwell (BKFC-8).
Further details for BKFC-55 will be announced shortly.

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.
