Bare Knuckle 101
BKFC Rules Explained: A Fan's Guide
Bare knuckle under BKFC rules is boxing without padded gloves: fighters wear wrapped hands, fight in a circular ring and score with clean punches.
Nonstop bare-knuckle fights, insane parties, exclusive fighter experiences and a $50,000 cash-prize poker tournament.
JANUARY 22–25, 2027 | MIAMI → BAHAMAS
The basics
Fighters wrap their hands and wrists with gauze and tape but leave the knuckles exposed. Only punches are allowed — no kicks, knees or takedowns.
Bouts run five two-minute rounds for most fights. Judges score each round on a 10-point must system, like boxing.
The Squared Circle
BKFC fights in a round ring with a center line where fighters often toe up at the start. The smaller space keeps the action close and constant.
See it live
Watching bare knuckle in person is a different experience: you hear every shot. At BKFSea, the ring is on the pool deck.
BKFSea 2027 sails January 22–25, 2027 from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas aboard Norwegian Jewel — three days of live bare knuckle, fighter meet and greets, open workouts and after parties.
