It was sad to see. Huge experience in gloved boxing seems a disadvantage if anything. It's so different they don't have know what to do.

If he's after money surely going down the Jake Paul route or some other youtuber would be better.

But how much do the bigger names in misfits even get paid?

I don't think it's that easy to get a fight with Jake Paul.Nightmare Roy wrote: ↑28 Sep 2025, 01:56 If he's after money surely going down the Jake Paul route or some other youtuber would be better.

Why? I've seen Joe box and lose to a kid his own age and weight who stood and traded. He is very game but the hype, podcasts, his own words etc all seemed a bit too much pressure he was putting on himself. I think people got carried away with Instagram clips and his physique but they didn't know anything about the fighter himself.

Hes done with BKFC
On Sunday morning he confirmed that he had no interest in another bare-knuckle contest, but he regardless appeared to refuse to rule out boxing in a professional ring again.
“Thank you all so much for the support for James,” read the statement released on DeGale’s behalf. “He got the win but came out battered and bruised after a brutal fight with some dirty tactics.
“The Manchester crowd’s energy was incredible and gave him a real lift. BKFC ran a great event and we respect them, but bare-knuckle isn’t for him. Boxing’s discipline and respect will always be his standard.”

I found it quite fun. its interesting watching class boxers looking basically helpless when the rules are altered ever so slightly.

Don’t follow bare knuckle but watched this fight and thought what a load of shite, Degale will regret going and doing that.

Exactly that, didn't know too much about him apart from a couple of cage fights, and a few bits an pieces here and there, could see he wasn;t exactly polished but looked game and thought bkb would be right up his street, he wasn't doing too bad though til he got stopped, he'll have a pop again i should imaginemickey1975 wrote: ↑28 Sep 2025, 05:21Why?

yeah they would beat degale and that floyd handily, that was a shameful turnout that was, degale looked like he'd never had a fight in his life and that floyd was just a mess, terrible, not a bad show other than that2174763 wrote: ↑28 Sep 2025, 13:17It’s is right up his street. He came up against the best fighter on that show. He’s 21, Sean’s 34 and been fighting since he was 15.

I've known him since has was a baby, always a lovely lad. His brother Warren could also do something in the sport.
I won't go into details but the things they put in their bodies are not conducive to long fights - it needs to stop and fighters be told it is to be tested for. Feldman and co are fully aware of it and someone will die if they do not regulate it. It is not a sport until they do, it is an anabolic and growth hormone blood farm.
No hate, I just know

There is zero drug testing in BKB
And with some of the folk fighting, looking at their physique, it's just obvious

Unless I was a lot drunker than I thought, Spelman won, to go 2-0.
He put a Polish lad with amazingly unnatural traps down about five times.
Dec probably looks one of the best suited former boxers for BKB.

Yea the Scots are game as a badger when it comes to this sort of stuff, be interesting to see more of that Weir, and defnitely Lister will come again2174763 wrote: ↑28 Sep 2025, 13:54Defo some cracking little scraps. Telfer showed improvement and nice tight technique. He’s usually a face first brawler. This group of Scottish BKBers are fighting 5v5 groups in fields with no rules. Penalty kicks allowed. So they well game for this rule set. Joe Lister, if he knuckles down and stops the partying can come again. Takes a bit of power to put a dent in Sean.
