BKB Super Lightweight Champion Harry Gigliotti will make his third title defence against Estevan Partida. The fight headlines BKB 52, taking place on 28 March 2026 at the Foxwoods Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut.
Gigliotti (5-0, 4 KOs) won the title with a first-round knockout over Northern Ireland’s Joe Fitzpatrick in Leeds in October 2024. He retained the belt four months later with a stoppage win over BKB’s junior lightweight champion Jon Barnard.
In his last bout, Gigliotti returned to the UK to face Wales’s Kallum Skhane. Gigliotti wore down and stopped Skhane in the fourth round.
Partida (2-0, 2 KOs) earned the title opportunity with a stoppage win over former title challenger Joshua Oxendine. Like Gigliotti, he’s boxed professionally and has also competed in the Team Combat League. Partida is trained by former boxing champion Clarence “Bones” Adams.
BKB 52 is BKB Bare Knuckle’s debut event at Foxwoods, a venue that has hosted some big boxing events over the years. BKB 52 will be broadcast live on Vice Sports in the US and stream live on the Talksport Boxing YouTube Channel in the UK and internationally.
“As promised, BKB is kicking off 2026 in grand fashion. After shows in our home bases of Miami and London to start off the year, we couldn’t be more enthusiastic to follow-up with our debut in the Northeast at a world-class entertainment destination like Foxwoods,” said BKB CEO David Tetreault.
