It is exciting to be back in London as we continue to garner global visibility for this sport. BYB has put together one of its strongest cards to date and we are looking forward to continuing to expand our brand as the #1 promotional company in the bare knuckle space.”

BYB events provide quick, action-filled bouts in the smallest fighting surface in combat sports, known as BYB’s patented “Trigon”. Fights are decided by the fighters and not the judges, with a 90% knock-out/finish rate.
BYB Extreme Fighting Series is a bare knuckle fighting organization founded in 2015 by former MMA fighter and current brand ambassador Dhafir ("Dada 5000") Harris, and former NASCAR team owner Mike Vazquez, whose HRT Motorsports was NASCAR's first Hispanic team.
BYB’s success can be attributed to its management team with more than 50 years of combined experience in the combat sports industry. From its onset, BYB has created its own stars, rather than relying on stars from other disciplines without long-term interest in bare knuckle fighting. The result is fighters with solid reputations, promoted through professionalism and respect.
