BKFC FAQ
Why is bare-knuckle boxing illegal?
Bare-knuckle boxing was outlawed in most states due to its brutality, and the growth of traditional boxing with its in-depth rules. However, just like MMA’s battle to change perceptions and gain acceptance, bare-knuckle boxing is slowly gaining legalization across the country and is now legal in 25 states.
What is the difference between UFC
The Ultimate Fighting Championship is a promotion where fighters compete under mixed martial arts rules, which allow grappling, submissions, kicks, knees, and elbow strikes. UFC contests are held in an octagon-shaped cage, and fighters typically wear four-ounce gloves.
BKFC follows the basic rules of boxing, except fighters compete using only hand wraps around their fists, as opposed to wearing eight to 10-ounce gloves. BKFC contests also take place in a circular ring, which is referred to as the “squared circle.”
Who owns BKFC?
Triller purchased a majority share in the world leader of bare-knuckle boxing in 2022. However, in April 2024, Triller was purchased by Hong Kong financial services company AGBA, giving them ownership of BKFC.
