BKFC Unveils Massive $25 Million Tournament for 2025
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) has announced plans for an ambitious and groundbreaking $25 million tournament set to take place in 2025, marking the largest prize pool in the promotion’s history.
BKFC president David Feldman revealed the exciting news at the BKFC Hollywood post-fight press conference in Hollywood, Florida, on Saturday.
The tournament, described by Feldman as the “biggest, baddest fight tournament,” is set to begin in April 2025 and will run for up to 12 months, featuring qualifying rounds across five continents.
“This is going to be the biggest, baddest fight tournament that ever took place,” Feldman declared. “We’re going to find the baddest motherf*cker on the face of this earth.”
While the exact allocation of the $25 million prize money is still under wraps, Feldman provided a glimpse into the tournament’s structure.
The competition will span nine to 12 months, with tryouts and qualifying rounds to ensure only the toughest fighters make it to the main event. Fighters will have to earn their spot in the tournament, as no one will be pre-qualified.
“Everyone has to try out for it. No one is getting pre-qualified,” Feldman emphasized. “They have to fight in qualifying rounds to make the tournament. I mean, it’s not a joke purse. It’s a real purse, so they have to really fight.”
The tournament is expected to draw top talent from around the world, with BKFC’s growing roster of former UFC stars, including Mike Perry, Eddie Alvarez, and Jeremy Stephens, potentially adding further excitement to the competition.
However, Feldman made it clear that this will not be a tournament where established fighters are guaranteed a place. Instead, every fighter, regardless of their background, will need to prove themselves in the qualification rounds.
The tournament will also have a major digital presence, with BKFC closing in on a major streaming deal to broadcast the event globally. Feldman hinted that fans can expect details to emerge soon, but he reassured audiences that the tournament’s global scope and high stakes would make it a landmark event for the sport of bare-knuckle boxing.
With a massive prize pool, global qualification rounds, and a roster of hungry fighters ready to compete, the $25 million BKFC tournament promises to be a thrilling spectacle in the world of combat sports.
