Lee Selby this week put pen to paper on a multi-fight contract with us.
As you surely know, Lee was an outstanding world gloved boxing champion. He was the IBF featherweight champion for three years until he outgrew the weight.
Lee won every major honour during his gloved career.
He started with the Welsh and Celtic belts and went on to win British, Commonwealth and world belts.
He beat four world champions during his career and now wants to add “bareknuckle boxing world champion” to his CV.
He has been a fan of BKB for a while and we were hoping he would come on board.
Lee has decided he sees his future with us and I can’t wait to see what he brings to the trigon.
It is another massive signing for us, following on from Yuriorkis Gamboa.
Lee and Yuriorkis will bring eyes from around the world to BKBand we are talking to more big names every week.
Next for us is BKB 51 at the O2 Arena on Saturday, February 21.
We return to the capital with a show that features Marko Martinjak defending his bridgerweight belt against Isaac Villanueva, the return of everyone’s favourite lovable rogue Dominic Negus and a rematch between Hall-of-Fame hero Scott McHugh and Martin Reffell.
Scott was a points winner when they met in September, 2022.
BKB 51 also features a clash of veterans Kevin Greenwood and Tony Barratt that has “knockout” written all over it.
Both only know one way to fight – coming forward and letting their hands go.
It’s going to be exciting while it lasts.
BKB 51 also features several faces who are new to usand we are sure the big stage will bring out the best in them.
We wish them all the best in their future with us.
There aren’t many tickets for BKB 51 left, so if you want to be there get your tickets fast!
Until next week
Joe Smith-Brown
(Co founder, BKB)
