BKB relocates Fight Night to Burbank as Hank Lundy sets bare-knuckle debut for Nov. 21

Bally’s Fight Night by BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing has relocated from Bally’s Dover Casino Resort in Delaware to Estrella Studios in Burbank, California, with the card rescheduled from November 20 to November 21. The venue change also brings a new headline act into sharper focus: former world title challenger Hank Lundy will make his bare-knuckle boxing debut against Jairo Santos in the welterweight main event.

Both Lundy and Santos will be stepping into BKB competition for the first time, adding an element of the unknown to the top of the card. Kylle McMillan versus James Brown has been confirmed as the welterweight co-main event.

BKB featherweight champion Helen Peralta will move up a weight class to face unbeaten Kat Connor at welterweight, one of the more intriguing matchups on the undercard. Former super middleweight champion Jose Fernandez is also in action, taking on Matt Socholotiuk at middleweight.

One fight that will not appear on the Burbank card is the super heavyweight bout between Jesse Sparks and Richard Carmack, which BKB announced has been moved to a separate event.

The full BKB Burbank lineup is as follows: Hank Lundy vs. Jairo Santos (welterweight main event), Kylle McMillan vs. James Brown (welterweight co-main event), Henry Williams vs. Eduardo Perez (super welterweight), Helen Peralta vs. Kat Connor (welterweight), Rudisel Mora vs. Joshua Sikes (middleweight), Jose Fernandez vs. Matt Socholotiuk (middleweight), Michael Santos vs. John Tabarez (light heavyweight), and Branden Smith vs. Braxton Smith (heavyweight).

The card is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET on November 21.
