BKB CEO David Tetreault and Bally’s Chairman Soo Kim under Oscar De La Hoya’s KO Entertainment have devised a unique way to watch combat sports that will take fans inside the trigon when the fists are flying!
Fighters will have advanced sensors embedded in their wrist wraps that will capture punch volume, punch type, and force of impact in real time, delivering an amazing experience to fans both inside the arena and across Bally’s digital platforms, including the Bally Sports Live apps and Stadium free ad-supported TV (FAST) channel.
Fans will receive live punch metrics including volume, velocity, and impact force along with real-time leaderboards, predictive betting, fantasy-style scoring, heat maps, punch-type breakdowns and fighter power rankings.
The same data stream enhances the in-venue atmosphere through integrated arena displays, creating a unified experience from ringside to remote viewing, so it will feel like you are there at trigon side!
It will be a watching experience like no other!
That is followed by the historic BKB 50 on January 31 in Miami and then we return to London for BKB 51.
Top of the bill at the O2 Indigo is the KO specialist named the Best Male Fighter of 2025, Marko Martinjak.
‘The Emperor of Bareknuckle’ had quite a 2025, knocking out Maurice Morris and then Dan Podmore.
The win over Dan in Leeds in October put Marko in the record-books as a two-weight world champion.
He added Dans bridgerweight belt to his cruiserweight title and he puts his new crown on the line against Isaac Villaneuva.
Isaac is a former heavyweight champion who gets his shot after outslugging Jarome Hatch last November.
Isaac showed a tremendous chin and heart to grind out victory and he’s going to need to show the same qualities next month!
Marko signed a contract extension with us recently and heavyweight KO specialist Kamil Sokolowski is another who has put pen to paper.
We look forward to seeing Kamil in action again soon
Until next week
