Mike Richman Challenges Jared Warren at BKFC Hollywood

Former BKFC interim champion and Bellator veteran Mike “The Marine” Richman will challenge Jared Warren for the BKFC Light Heavyweight Title
on 21 December.

The highly anticipated fight headlines a BKFC on DAZN event taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood, Florida.

Richman (6-2, 6 KOs) held the interim title before losing to then titleholder Lorenzo Hunt at Knuckle Mania 3 in February 2023. “The Marine” had knocked Hunt down and hurt him before Hunt connected with a huge punch to score a stunning first-round knockout.

Warren won the vacant title by beating Jomi Escoboza by unanimous decision in June. The Florida fighter improved to 7-2 (5 KOs) with the win.

Richman is one of the sport’s most exciting knockout artists. In Warren, he faces a newly crowned champ who’s greatly improved and growing in confidence. It’s Warrens first title defence, and a home-state crowd and large audience watching on DAZN will add extra motivation.

The co-feature is another mouth-watering showdown. BKFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Christine Ferea (9-1) defends against undefeated Christine Vicens.

The long-reigning Ferea comes off a lackluster decision win against Jade Maisson-Wong. “The Misfit” will be looking to impress after a dull fight with Wong that had the Utah fans booing the lack of action.

Vicens has impressed in wins against former title challengers Wong and Melanie Shah. She takes a big step up in competition against Ferea, one of the best bare knuckle fighters in the world.

Additional matches will be announced in due course. BKFC on DAZN: Hollywood streams exclusively on the DAZN streaming platform.
