BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing returned to London today for BKB 61 at the Indigo at the o2.
In the main event, former boxing champion Lee Selby won a close decision over game Ollie Sentance. Selby was tested by the taller Sentance, who gave a good account of himself.
Scores were 48-47,48-47 and 47-48. It was Selby’s second win as a bare knuckle boxer.
Amado Vargas was too strong for Callum Nulty in the co-feature. Vargas, son of boxing great Fernando Vargas, knocked Nulty down five times before the fight was stopped in the second round.

Matty Askin Upsets Marko Martinjak
Former British cruiserweight boxing champion Matty Askin shocked Marko Martinjak, stopping the Croation in two rounds to earn the BKB Cruiserweight World Championship.
Martinjak threw heavy shots early but Askin weathered the storm. Martinjak’s breathing was heavy late in the round one, and a short Askin left dropped the Croatian before the bell.
Askin connected with a left-right combo in round two that dropped Martinjak for the count.
