  As the sport of Boxing continues to adapt to the changing landscape created by the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic, the bareknuckle form of the sport has also been attempting to resume a somewhat normal schedule. On September 11 th , the Bareknuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) presented its second card since resuming in July with the twelfth card in the promotion’s history, which was held at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL.    Normally when covering the sport of Boxing in Bareknuckle-form, this observer likes to provide analysis of events in long-form as compared to some cards that I have covered in traditional Professional Boxing that are covered in short-form. The primary reason for this is an effort by yours truly to provide the reader with as much coverage as possible in the scope of one column as well as bouts that are fought under Bareknuckle rules tending to be short in duration. The twelfth card in the history of the BKFC certainly followed this trend of short,...

Chua had previously upset MacKenzie’s tilt at a world title shot against Vasyl Lomachenko when he beat the WBO #2 in front of a 40,000 crowd as the undercard to a Jeff Horn bout in Brisbane. That November 2018’s clash with Kye Mackenzie was the Australasian “Upset of the Year”   Credit: Dragon Fire Boxing  Chua is guided by Oceania Manager of the year Tony Tolj who opens up about his lightweight charge. "Chua is an old school fighter, anyone, anywhere, anytime. If I told him tomorrow to fight Tyson Fury, he would say get me on a plane. Once in the ring hes like an unchained animal and that's why he's the most feared lightweight in the Southern hemisphere." Prior to the global pandemic, Francis Chua agreed t...

  In a landscape that has largely been dominated by the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic throughout 2020, Boxing as well as all sports that are currently active have attempted to carry on as best as possible under the circumstances. Among the complications the sport of Boxing has faced since it has attempted to resume in June surrounded the WBO Jr. Lightweight world championship fight between champion Jamel Herring and longtime contender Jonathan Oquendo. A fight that incurred two postponements due to the champion testing positive twice for the COVID-19 virus resulting in two separate postponements of the bout.   It is not uncommon when bouts are postponed multiple times to see those fights either pushed back a significant period of time before attempting to stage a fight again or, to see those bouts cancelled outright as one party in a potential bout might choose to go in a different direction rather than waiting for a fight to be rescheduled. Even when Boxing is under normal condit...
