Unbeaten Sparks targets third KO against Carmack at BKB Dover after 53-second demolition run

Jesse ‘The Reaper’ Sparks will put his perfect bare-knuckle record on the line against Richard ‘Silverback’ Carmack in a super heavyweight matchup at Bally’s Fightnight by BKB on 20 November at Bally’s Dover Casino Resort in Dover, Delaware.

Sparks has wasted no time establishing himself in the sport, finishing both of his first two opponents in a combined 53 seconds. The unbeaten finisher now faces a sterner test in Carmack (2-1), who has also recorded two knockout victories under the BKB banner.

“I’m not coming to Dover to go the distance or leave anything to the judges. I’m always looking for the finish. Carmack is next, and I’m preparing to bring the same power that got me here. When that bell rings, I’m going after him,” Sparks said.

Carmack brings considerable pedigree to the matchup. A former Mid-American heavyweight champion with 16 professional boxing victories to his name, he is not short of confidence heading into the contest.

“I’m not stepping into the Trigon just to be another name on Sparks’ record. I’m coming to win, and if the opportunity is there, I’m going to finish the fight,” Carmack said.

The 20 November card marks the promotion’s first event at Bally’s Dover Casino Resort. The main event features former world title challenger Hank Lundy against Jairo Santos in a welterweight bout, with Kylle McMillan and James Brown scheduled to meet in the co-main event.
