The Boxing Truth®

The theme of the fifth BKB: Big-Knockout Boxing card that took place on June 27th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada was that it largely consisted of newcomers entering the “BKB Pit” for the first time. It was also however, a card of historical significance for an emerging form of Professional Boxing that is still very much in its growing stages. This card was the first to feature a bout for a World Heavyweight championship recognized by BKB. The undercard however, may well have provided Boxing fans an opportunity to see fighters who could well become stars of BKB in the future. The night’s action began with a Light-Heavyweight bout between Chris Spang and Samuel Horowitz.

Headlining the card will be a bout to crown the inaugural BKB World Heavyweight champion. BKB veteran Julian Pollard will face multi-combat sport veteran Tyrone Spong. Pollard is undefeated in two previous BKB appearances and is coming off a fourth round stoppage of Elijah McCall on the last BKB event in April of this year. In terms of experience, one might argue that Pollard could have an advantage heading into this fight as he has already fought under the BKB Boxing format. Spong however, who will be making his BKB debut is a seasoned veteran of Combat Sports having competed in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, Boxing, and Kickboxing.
