David Tetrault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle, said: “BKB Bare Knuckle is keeping its foot on the gas and putting another stamp on a historic 2025 on November 22 with BKB 48: Night of Four Kings, featuring four title fights showcasing some of the best pound-for-pound bare knuckle fighters in the from around world. Coming off arguably our biggest show ever where Paulie Malignaggi defied critics and was triumphant in his return to fighting, and Marko Martinjak became a two-division champion, claimed his fifth title in five weight classes, and solidified himself among the sports’ elite – we believe this will be our most explosive card to date.”
Undefeated knockout machine Gustavo “The Cuban Assassin” Trujillo (7-0, 7 KOs) defends his BKB Heavyweight World Title against former WBA Regular Heavyweight Boxing Champion Lucas “Big Daddy” Browne (31-7, 27 KOs boxing; 1-0 BKB). The 32-year-old Trujillo, a Miami native by way of Cuba, has decimated the division with seven first-round knockouts, including former champions Lorenzo Hunt, Ike Villanueva, and Richie Leak. Browne, a battle-tested Australian with a storied career facing boxing titans like Dillian Whyte, Jarrell Miller, and James Toney, plus a 6-2 MMA record including a bout against UFC legend Daniel Cormier, aims to make history as the first fighter to hold world titles in both professional boxing and bare knuckle. After a devastating second-round stoppage in his BKB debut, Browne is ready to challenge Trujillo’s reign in a clash of titans.
Former Boxing World Champion Turned Bare Knuckle Challenger, Lucas Browne, said: “I’m the sort of man who never looks at an opportunity like this and says no I won’t or can’t, it’s a massive opportunity and I’m taking it with both hands. It’s something that doesn’t come around often for many people so I will never not give it a try. I’m thankful to the BKB for considering me and I’ll make them proud also.”
