“David Mundell and Mike Richman are two of the toughest bare-knuckle fighters in the world,” said David Feldman, President and Founder of BKFC. “Mundell has been on a torrid run through the division over the last two years culminating in his world title victory last December over Francesco Ricchi. Richman ran through the opposition in his first four BKFC fights before the epic ending to his fight against Lorenzo Hunt at KnuckleMania 3.”

“The Lakeland / Tampa Florida area has been home to some of BKFC’s biggest nights and this main event along with the loaded undercard promises another sensational night full of fireworks in the squared circle.”
