Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship Announces "Liberty Brawl" for July 4th Weekend in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's legendary sports culture is about to get a massive infusion of adrenaline this summer. Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), widely recognized as the world's fastest-growing combat sports promotion, has officially announced its return to the City of Brotherly Love with an action-packed event: Liberty Brawl. The timing could not be more perfect; the event drops right as Philadelphia takes center stage globally, serving as a primary host city for six FIFA World Cup matches and anchoring the United States' massive 250th Anniversary Semiquincentennial celebrations.

    • KnuckleMania V (January 25, 2025):

    Headed by President and former professional boxer David Feldman, the Philadelphia-based promotion is looking to keep that hometown momentum rolling. While the full fight card is slated to be announced in the coming weeks, promotional officials promise a stacked lineup of established combat professionals across boxing, MMA, and Muay Thai. The design features traditional "scratch lines" based on historical 19th-century Broughton Rules.

    • Toeing the Line: Fighters are required to start every single round face-to-face, standing mere inches apart at the center lines.
    • True Bare-Knuckle: Unlike international organizations that allow extensive hand wraps, gauze, or tape near the knuckles, BKFC regulations strictly prohibit any structural wrapping within one inch of the knuckle, making it the truest form of the sport.

    Event Details & Ticketing: Tickets for Liberty Brawl are officially on sale now and can be secured via BKFC.com. Given the massive influx of tourists in the city for the July 4th holiday weekend, please make sure to secure your seats and local parking well in advance.
