Bareknuckle FC Expansion Continues As Tickets Released For Newcastle Show

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship have announced the release of tickets for their next show in Newcastle as the fastest growing combat sports promotion in the world continues its UK expansion after its successful show in Coventry. This event will take place at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena welcoming the promotion on Saturday, November 2, 2024.

On Saturday 2nd of November in the Utilita, fans will see the debut of former Geordie Shore playboy Aaron Chalmers (who recently shared the ring with Floyd Mayweather) as well as the crowning of a BKFC European Heavyweight Champion as Agi Faulkner and David Oscar go head to head.

The fastest growing combat sports promotion on the planet continues its UK expansion after its most recent show in Coventry, which crowned the inaugural BKFC UK Welterweight World Champion, when Connor Tierney beat Jonny Graham in an instant classic.

Newcastle’s Utilita Arena is set to host the next installment of UK Bare Knuckle action; headlined by Agi Faulkner vs David Oscar in a bout for the inaugural BKFC European Heavyweight Title. The co-main event also offers spectators an exciting domestic clash, with Matthew Hodgson taking on Conor Cooke for the vacant BKFC UK Light Heavyweight Title. 

Alongside the main events of the evening, the card features the highly anticipated BKFC debut of boxer, MMA fighter, and reality TV star, Aaron Chalmers. The Newcastle local, who recently inked a multi-fight deal with the promotion, boasts an impressive 5-2 MMA record and in 2023 shared the boxing ring with Floyd Mayweather.

The promotion places enormous importance on fighter safety and matches its competitors accordingly. Each contest in the organization has four referees, with owner, David Feldman, investing heavily in additional medical professionals at ringside to ensure that those in the heat of battle receive the care they deserve.

However, while safety is of paramount importance, the protocols don’t take away from the excitement that takes place under the lights.

David Feldman, Founder & President at BKFC, commented:

“Newcastle is a city known for its love of sport, and for its incredible fans. We’re excited to bring the fastest growing combat sport in the world to their doorstep. We know they’re going to love it!”

“The Utilita is an amazing arena, which has hosted some incredible combat sports events in recent years. We have some exciting fights already confirmed, with big local talent getting their chance to shine on the biggest stage in the sport.”
