MIAMI – Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has announced the launch of the BKFC Prospect Series, commencing on Thursday, August 24 from Arnold Hall at the Miami-Dade Fairgrounds, the night before BKFC 49 at the same venue.
Said David Feldman, president and founder of BKFC, “The BKFC Prospects Series will be a monthly event taking place at the same location the night before our numbered shows. It’s a great opportunity to showcase men and women from boxing, muay Thai and mixed martial arts, some of whom have participated in our open tryouts. Let bare-knuckle fans see if you have what it takes under the bright lights to earn a shot at a BKFC contract.
“Our open tryouts have been a massive success and are heavily attended all over the world. The BKFC Prospects Series provides an outlet to see how talented these bare-knuckle fighters are, with additional slots for fights we normally wouldn’t be able to fit on our numbered shows.”
Tickets starting at $40 for BKFC Prospects Series 1 may be purchased at BKFC.com. BKFC Prospects Series 1 will also be broadcast internationally as part of the BKFC+ subscription for $7.99 per month on the new BKFC app – “The Best Value in Combat Sports” – and is sponsored by Bucked Up, MIT 45, Only Fans, Crescent Tools, LIONS NOT SHEEP and Knockout Gummies.
