BKB 45 is coming to Bristol and there’s going to be a red-hot atmosphere at Planet Ice.
Bristol is a famous fightcity and the locals are sure to make it a very noisy and memorable night.
We’ve had trucks and billboards advertising the show around Bristol and the public have responded by snapping up every ticket.
The local media have got behind BKB 45 as well.
Bristol boy Dean Patterson has featured in the local press an radio in the build up to his much-anticipated rematch with Paul Hilz.
Dean has sold more than 100 tickets – and that won’t bother Paul.
He doesn’t care who he’s fighting or where he’s fighting them. He just gets stuck in.
‘The Soul Snatcher’ and Dean have unsettled business after a broken hand ruled Dean out of their first fight in Wolverhampton in March.
If you haven’t got one you can still see every punch, every knockdown, every moment of drama by watching TalkSport’s YouTube channel in the UK and Ireland or VICE TV in the US and Canada.
Wherever you watch it, prepare for a night of non-stop action.
How could it possibly be anything else when we have matches such as James Connelly-Martin Reffell, Kamil Sokolowski-George Taylor and Paul Hilz-Dean Patterson II taking place in the smallest surface area in combat sport.
There’s much more as well of course, including a BKB debut for Dan Catlin.
Th 26 year old from Fleetwood reached English-title level in his pro gloved career before deciding to swich careers.
On his debut for us, he goes in with Isaiah Quinones, who’s flying in from the States to make his US debut.
Hatice Ozyurt is another who we wish all the best on hr journey with us. She makes her BKB debut against Ashley Brace.
Ashley is another who’s decided her future is in BKB after a successful career with the gloves on.
