Legendary world heavyweight champion's son joins Bare Knuckle Boxing

BKB sign the son of a boxing legend

BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, the world's largest professional bare knuckle organization, today announced the signing of undefeated boxer Sharif Rahman to a multi-fight agreement.

Rahman's move to BKB whilst still in his prime is driven by his desire to test his skill and lineage in the purest, most unforgiving version of boxing, ready to add a new chapter to the Rahman family name inside the trigon.

This high-profile signing reinforces BKB's position as the ultimate destination for elite gloved boxers seeking the rawest form of combat, following recent additions including Victor Ortiz, JoJo Diaz, Alfredo Angulo, Lee Selby, and Josh Warrington.

The son of two-time world heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, who famously stopped Lennox Lewis to win the title in 2001, and brother of fellow professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr., Rahman brings a proven boxing pedigree, a perfect record, and a storied family name to the BKB ranks.

Sharif Rahman said: "I've carried this family name my whole career and I've never lost. Bare knuckle is a new test, no gloves, no excuses, just pure skill and heart, and I'm bringing my undefeated record to BKB to prove I belong among the best in the trigon."

Known as "C3," the 30-year-old Baltimore native and Las Vegas resident enters BKB with an undefeated professional record of 9-0 (4 KOs), built during his boxing career. Rahman rides an undefeated win streak and brings a disciplined, technical style that made him one of the most closely watched unbeaten prospects to come out of the Rahman boxing family. He follows in the footsteps of the Vargas Dynasty, Amado and Fernado Jr, sons of the legendary Fernando Vargas Snr who have stepped over from gloved boxing to bare knuckle.

Mike Vazquez, Founder of BKB Bare Knuckle, said: "Sharif Rahman comes from one of the great families in heavyweight boxing history and he's built his own perfect record on discipline and skill. That's exactly the kind of fighter who thrives in the trigon. We're excited to welcome him and his undefeated record to BKB."

David Tetreault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle, said: "Sharif has boxing in his blood and a 9-0 record to back it up. Signing a talented, unbeaten fighter with a name like Rahman is another massive statement for BKB. We can't wait to see him test that perfect record inside our trigon."

Rahman joins an elite and rapidly growing roster of more than 200 fighters from over 30 countries, highlighting BKB's magnetic pull for boxing's biggest names seeking the ultimate test in the most primal combat sport. More major announcements are coming as BKB maintains its meteoric rise.

From its origins in 2015 as BYB Extreme Fighting Series, BKB has transformed bare knuckle boxing into a regulated, globally broadcast powerhouse through strategic acquisitions and a fighter-first philosophy that emphasizes athlete welfare and opportunity. Landmark broadcast partnerships with talkSPORT (UK and Ireland), VICE (US and Canada), and Telemundo (Spanish-language in the US) have delivered live events to millions worldwide.
