BKB 59 Arrives in Tijuana with Historic Mexico Debut and Two World Title Showdowns

Bare Knuckle Boxing (BKB) is set to make its landmark debut in Mexico with BKB 59, a significant event taking place on Saturday, September 19th, at the Auditorio Municipal in Tijuana. This historic occasion is a collaborative effort with Zanfer Boxing, a leading promoter in Latin America.

The fight card boasts an exciting lineup of 12 bouts, highlighted by a championship doubleheader. In the main event, Tijuana's own Julian Fernandez will defend his BKB Super Cruiserweight World Championship against the formidable Dan Podmore, a former three-division BKB champion hailing from the United Kingdom. The co-main event will see Mexico's Cecy Ulloa compete against the United States' Andy Nguyen for the vacant BKB Super Flyweight World Championship.

This event marks a crucial step in BKB's international expansion strategy, aiming to tap into the vibrant combat sports scene in Mexico. The partnership with Zanfer Boxing is expected to pave the way for future live events, broadcast deals, and sponsorship opportunities throughout Latin America.
