A date has been set for the grudge match between Artem Lobov and Paulie Malignaggi, as Bare Knuckle FC is heading to New Hampshire in June and bringing that battle as its presumed headliner.
The location was first mentioned by Malignaggi on an interview with Las Vegas Sports Network on Thursday. BKFC President David Feldman later confirmed with MMA Fighting that the event would be held in the state of New Hampshire on June 22. While a city has not yet been selected, the organization is reportedly considering Manchester. Previously, the promotion has held events in Cheyenne, Wyo.
