BKB 48 comes to South Florida on Saturday night for a show that is certain to deliver top-class action.
There will be four world-title fights and two world-title eliminators at the Charles F Dodge City Center.
The show features SIX current and former world champions and three other fighters who have fought for world honours.
BKB 48 has to be one of our biggest shows yet and is not to be missed.
If you aren’t lucky enough to have a ticket, you can watch all the action on talkSPORT Boxing, VICE TV, Fuse TV and BEin Sport.
My advice to anyone who’s there or watching on any of the above is: ‘Don’t blink’ because there are going to be some big punches thrown in the trigon on Saturday night.
There’s guaranteed drama when ‘The Cuban Assassin’ defends his world heavyweight championship against ‘Big Daddy.’
Gustavo Trujillo has won all his fights with us inside a round – and Lucas Browne brings Mike Tysonesque power to the trigon.
Lucas is looking to emulate the one and only John L Sullivan by winning world heavyweight honours in both gloved and bareknuckle boxing.
Then we move on to Cardiff and BKB 49 where Liam ‘Rocky’ Reese defends his world super-welterweight title against Rolando Dy in the top of the bill fight.
The winner gets Paulie Malignaggi – and the chance to become a huge name in combat sport.
Paulie’s fight in Leeds on BKB 47 attracted huge media attention from around the world.
Cardiff also features several fighters making their debuts with BKB – always a good sign for the future.
New faces include former Welsh gloved boxing champion Ethan George and Shaun Cooper.
In his pro gloved boxing career, Shaun gave Sam Noakes some hard rounds and Sam this weekend fights for the world championship.
That shows Shaun’s quality and he faces another former gloved pro in Joe Morgan.
Until next week
