This Saturday, Newcastle gets its first taste of BKB — and the stakes don’t get much bigger.

Rolando “Dy Incredible” Dy puts his BKB Super Welterweight World Championship on the line against five-time BKB champion Scott “The Mute” McHugh at BKB 60 inside Utilita Arena Newcastle.

Dy has quickly established himself as one of the most dangerous fighters in bare-knuckle boxing. Sitting at 6-1 with 5 KOs, the Filipino champion has already made history as the first Filipino fighter to capture BKB gold, and his championship run has included victories over Liam Rees and former two-division boxing world champion Paulie Malignaggi.

But standing across from him is a completely different kind of challenge.

Scott McHugh is a five-time BKB champion, a Bare Knuckle Hall of Fame inductee, and a 22-fight veteran who has won his last five fights — three by knockout. The Leeds native has been through the wars and knows exactly what it takes to win inside the Trigon.

And that’s what makes this matchup so intriguing.

🔥 Champion vs. former champion
🔥 Experience vs. momentum
🔥 Filipino power vs. British grit
🔥 6-1 vs. 17-5
🔥 5 KOs vs. 7 KOs

Dy has the belt.

McHugh has the experience.

And with no gloves and nowhere to hide inside the Trigon, every exchange could change the fight.

This is more than a title defense for Dy — it’s another opportunity to prove that his championship reign is only getting started.

Who walks out of Newcastle with the gold? 🇵🇭🇬🇧

FightingYo is watching.

Former IBF world champion and 2012 U.S. Olympian JoJo Diaz Jr. is headed to Newcastle 🇬🇧 this Saturday for BKB 60.

Diaz makes his UK debut against Brian Hyslop in his second bare-knuckle fight after announcing himself with a vicious first-round KO over Nate Williams.

Now he steps into the Trigon again — this time on British soil.

Can JoJo make it 2-0 in BKB? 👀

The former world champion is entering a whole new chapter. 🔥

Dana White was asked about Eddie Hearn last night… and he absolutely lost it. 😳

White doubled down on his involvement in Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua, saying:

>“Are you f***ing kidding me right now?”

>“I am producing the fight. I am promoting the fight. I will be there at the fight.”

White also fired back at Hearn’s recent comments, asking why Hearn spent so much time talking about him instead of the actual Fury-Joshua fight.

The beef comes after Hearn has repeatedly insisted that White and Zuffa Boxing are not contractually allowed to promote or produce the December 11 fight, while White continues to say the opposite.

And Hearn didn’t exactly hold back either. He recently called Zuffa Boxing’s first 10 months “absolutely abysmal” and said White is using Fury-Joshua to create the perception that Zuffa has a stronger body of work than it actually does.

At this point, Fury vs. Joshua might have the biggest promotional beef in boxing before the first punch is even thrown. 🥊

Who are you siding with — Dana White or Eddie Hearn? 👀

An incredible effort by Eric advances to 3-0

WBC heavyweight champion Agit Kabayel faced off with undefeated Nelson Hysa today ahead of their November 28 title fight in Düsseldorf — but Kabayel’s eyes are already on the bigger picture.

“I’m really looking forward to this fight,” Kabayel said at today’s press conference, calling the moment an “indescribable feeling” as he prepares to defend his world title in front of a massive home crowd.

And make no mistake… Kabayel has never been shy about wanting the best.

He’s previously made it clear: Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Moses Itauma, Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley are all fights he would welcome.

“I’ll fight everyone.”

That’s the mentality of a heavyweight champion.

Kabayel is 27-0 with 19 KOs and has already stopped big names like Zhilei Zhang. Now he has to get past the undefeated Nelson Hysa before the real blockbuster fights can become reality.

Kabayel vs. Fury? 👀
Kabayel vs. Joshua? 👀
Kabayel vs. Dubois? 👀
Kabayel vs. Itauma? 👀

Which one do you want to see?

November 28. WBC heavyweight championship. Düsseldorf. 🇩🇪🥊

Dana White was asked about the upcoming meeting in Los Angeles regarding Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua… 👀

Eddie Hearn says the sides are expected to meet next week to discuss Dana/Zuffa’s involvement in the blockbuster fight.

But when Dana was asked about it last night, he said he hadn’t heard anything about a meeting and asked:

“What do I need to meet about?”

Dana continues to insist that he’ll be there — producing and promoting Fury vs. Joshua.

The December 11 heavyweight blockbuster just keeps getting more interesting. 🥊🔥

Do you think Dana and Zuffa will actually be involved?

With the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua showdown getting closer, the biggest question surrounding the event remains Dana White’s actual role — especially when it comes to producing the fight.

Dana has repeatedly said UFC is involved in producing the show. Eddie Hearn has strongly disputed that claim and says White doesn’t have the contractual right to do it.

So when Dana was pressed about the producing situation at last night’s presser… he didn’t exactly give fans the clear answer they were looking for. 👀🥊

Is Dana really producing Fury vs. Joshua, or is this latest chapter in the Dana White vs. Eddie Hearn war?

Fight fans… what do YOU think?

Payton Talbott was asked at last night’s UFC 332 press conference how he believes his style matches up with “Suga” Sean O’Malley.

And now, after blasting Deiveson Figueiredo out in the first round, Talbott is making it clear he wants that matchup. 🔥

Talbott has been compared to O’Malley for years because of their creative striking, movement and confidence — but Talbott has always maintained that there are major differences in the way they approach a fight.

Now he wants to settle it inside the Octagon.

Talbott is 12-1 and coming off back-to-back wins over former UFC champions. O’Malley remains one of the biggest names at 135.
