Bare Knuckle Boxing 6 takes place at the Indigo Arena at the O2 complex this Saturday (July 1, 2017). For those unaware of the rules, fights are anywhere between three and five rounds, with each round being two minutes. Scoring is similar to boxing and MMA with a maximum of 10 points per round. Fighters are not permitted to headbutt, hit below the belt, hit the back of the head, or use anything other than their hands to strike an opponent. In the main event, UFC veteran Melvin Guillard faces undefeated Jimmy Sweeney.
Guillard heads into this matchup off a TKO victory over Dan Breeze at BKB5. The 34-year-old has a MMA record of 38-18-2 and a boxing record of 0-1-1. Sweeney boasts a 16-0 record and widely considered the best fighter in the sport. He’s coming off a win over another UFC veteran in Cody McKenzie, where he secured five knockdowns in the fight before the TKO finish.
The co-main event features Christian Evans taking on UK reality star Kris Reziese. Evans is perhaps unfairly known for his loss to longtime UFC veteran Joe Riggs back in February for BKB. Evans boasts an 11-2 boxing record and has gone 0-3 in his MMA career. Trezise will be competing in just his second fight for BKB.
