Jack Marshman’s retirement fight

Bare Knuckle Boxing closes out a historic 2025 when it returns to the Land of the Red Dragon, Friday, 5 December, for BKB 49 at the Vale Arena in Cardiff. In the main event, Wales’ own undefeated Liam Rees defends his Super Lightweight title against one of the hottest fighters in BKB, #1 contender Rolando Dy.

In the co-main event, someone’s 0 has to go when undefeated Light Heavyweights Keiron Harding and David Winiarski meet in the Trigon.

Plus, two of BKB’s top rising stars face off when Simey Doherty takes on Kallum Skhane.

Also, this will be Jack ‘The Hammer’ Marshman’s retirement fight in front of his home crowd. Marshman promises to put on one hell of a great fight for his fans and retire with the all-important win. Standing in his way is none other than Paul Hilz, who knows only one way: coming forward. This has all the hallmarks of ‘fight of the year’ with both men knowing the only way is forward, and the only way out is to be knocked out.

THE HISTORY OF BARE KNUCKLE BOXING

Originating

Originating in South Florida with backyard legend Dada 5000, whose backyard fights gained worldwide popularity online, BKB was founded to harness the excitementbare-knuckleckle fighting into a more structured product for a wider, more mainstream audience. Since 2015, BYB has worked diligently to grow the reach of bare knuckle on both a domestic and international level, hosting events in Wyoming, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, New Mexico, Colorado, England, Wales and Dubai, and is continuing to work with athletic commissions throughout the United States and globally to expand the fanbase growing sport of bare knuckle fighting.

In the past two years, BKB (originally BYB) has purchased the UK-based BKB, world’sld’s oldest professional bare knuckle boxing company, and in doing so merged the organizations to create the largest bare knuckle boxing company in the world in terms of roster, library and distribution; ushered in ethical and legalized gambling to the sport;  acquired the rights to the historic and prestigious Police Gazette Diamond Belt which now serves as the Bare Knuckle Boxing World Championship; and brought bare knuckle boxing to lineal television on both sides of the Atlantic, including the recent deal with VICE TV and in the UK with TalkSport.
