BKFC to hold event at famous MLB stadium

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championships is heading to an interesting new venue later this summer.

The organization announced on Monday that BKFC 92 will take place on Aug. 29 at Fenway Park, the home of the Boston Red Sox. In the evening’s main event, BKFC featherweight title holder will square off against Massachusetts native Harry Gigliotti.

A Historic Venue

Billed as “America’s Most Beloved Ballpark” on MLB.com, Fenway officially opened on April 20, 1912. The seating capacity is nearly 38,000, though it is unclear how much of that space will be utilized for BKFC 92.

“We’re beyond excited to announce this unprecedented event at Fenway Park on Saturday, August 29,” BKFC president Dave Feldman said in a press release. “The team at Fenway Park has been outstanding to collaborate with in what is truly a can’t miss event on the national combat sports calendar.”

BKFC 92 will also mark the first regulated bare-knuckle boxing event in the state. More bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.
