BYB Extreme Bare Knuckle Fighting Series CEO Gregory Bloom along with BKB President Jim Freeman announced today a first-of-its-kind cross-promotion competition to award the first-ever Police Gazette International Cup. The 2023 inaugural installment will take place at BYB 18 on June 25th at London’s Indigo at the O2 in BYB’s patented Trigon ring and under BYB bare knuckle fighting rules. This competition will be comprised of nine match-ups featuring BYB fighters going against BKB fighters, with the promotion scoring the majority of victories to be awarded the Police Gazette International Cup.
“Working with BKB and Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame (BKBHOF) President Scott Burt,” said Bloom, “we’ve come up with a marquee event that will pit the best bare knuckle fighters in the United States against the best bare knuckle fighters in the United Kingdom and crown an annual cup champion between the promotions. It’s Ryder Cup meets Bare Knuckle fighting. The Police Gazette International Cup is a testament to not only the BYB/BKB partnership, but the continued worldwide growth of bare knuckle fighting in 2023.”
