A largely underreported bare knuckle boxing event just got a whole lot more interesting.
In recent years, we've seen a greater interest in bare knuckle boxing and events that forego the use of gloves for unarmed combat in general. These events are largely either underground or promoted by smaller organizations on pay-per-view, or under private events as seen in the 2011 documentary Knuckle.
We've seen various MMA fighters dabble in it as well, such as Ken Shamrock, who was originally scheduled to take on a bare-knuckle fight last year against James Quinn McDonagh, one of the main individuals that the aforementioned documentary focuses on.
