Bad to the Bone, a rising force in British bare knuckle boxing, returns to Stoke-on-Trent this coming Saturday, 7 December with a massive fight card.
BTTB’s “The Fight Before Christmas” features 17 bare knuckle bouts, including 2 world title fights. If that’s not enough, there’s some gloved boxing bouts also scheduled.
A rising star battles a veteran knockout artist in the main event. Hometown hero Simon “The Smoke from Stoke” Doherty takes on BKB and BYB vet Ionel Levitchi of Romania. The BTTB World Welterweight Title is at stake.
Doherty (3-1) looks to wrap up a stellar 2024 with a title fight win. He’s gone 3-0 in 2024, including a unanimous decision win over veteran Dean “Smudger” Smith in the summer. Standing in his path is the hard punching Levitchi (5-3, 4 KOs), who’s been in with the likes of Jimmy Sweeney and is known for a kill or be killed style.
The BTTB World Flyweight Title is up for grabs in the other title fight.
BKFC veteran Lee Browne collides with Andrea Bicchi for the European Cruiserweight Title.
Maria Nitescu, who defeated Mathilda Wilson earlier this year, faces slap fight veteran Robyn Wereshchuk in a women’s bout.
It’s a night of action you don’t want to miss.
