Matty Askin now co-main event at BKB 61

BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, the world’s largest professional bare knuckle boxing organization, has announced the complete 12-fight card for BKB 61, taking place Saturday, November 14, live at the indigo at The O2 in London, England.

The event will be headlined by two of the United Kingdom’s toughest, as former IBF Featherweight World Champion “Lightning” Lee Selby (1-0, 1 KO) takes on Ollie “The Death” Sentance (2-0, 2 KOs) in the super lightweight main event. 

Reigning BKB Bridgerweight World Champion “Marvelous” Marko Martinjak (13-2, 13 KOs) of Croatia returns to action as he puts his title on the line against former British Cruiserweight Champion Matty “The Assassin” Askin (1-0, 1 KO) of Blackpoool in a co-main event title bout.

A highly-anticipated welterweight rematch is set, as former world title challenger Aaron “The Baron” McCallum (9-6-1, 7 KOs) runs it back with fellow UK native Simey “The Smoke from Stoke” Doherty (10-2-1, 3 KOs) following their split draw at BKB 57 back in July.

Also on the card, Ash “Bash” Devenport (3-0, 1 KO) looks to remain undefeated when he takes on Kallum Skhane (2-3, 2 KOs) in a welterweight showdown.
