MASHANTUCKET, CONNECTICUT (October 29, 2026) – BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, the world’s largest professional bare knuckle boxing organization, has announced a pair of BKB World Championship bouts for BKB 63, which takes place at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut on Saturday, December 19. In the main event, BKB Super Middleweight World Champion Lorawnt-T “Smash” Nelson puts his title on the line against No. 1 contender David “Tartan Titan” Winiarski.
One of the best pound-for-pound bare knuckle boxers in the world today, Nelson returns to action having won his last seven fights, including six by way of knockout. The two-division titleholder is fresh off a fourth-round knockout win over Serob Minasyan at BKB 56 in Los Angeles back in July, and will look to keep his winning streak intact and the Super Middleweight World Championship in his grasp.
“I respect anyone willing to step into the Trigon, but come fight night, it’s all business. David Winiarski is coming for my title, and I’m going to make him earn every bit of it. I’ll be ready from the opening bell, and on December 19, I plan to remind everyone why I’m the champion,” said Lorawnt-T Nelson.
Winiarski, meanwhile, finally gets his shot at world championship gold after knocking out Geraint Goodridge in the first round of their title eliminator bout at BKB 60 in Newcastle, United Kingdom earlier this month. Four of Winiarski’s five career wins have come by knockout, and he’ll try to do the same against one of the sport’s best in Nelson.
“I asked for this fight, and now that I’ve got it, I’m not going to waste the opportunity. Nelson is a great champion, but I believe in myself, and I’m coming to BKB 63 ready to take that belt,” said David Winiarski.
The BKB Featherweight World Championship will also be up for grabs, as reigning champion Yampier Ramirez takes on undefeated challenger Jorge Martinez. Ramirez, who makes his first defense since winning the title back in March, has won all five of his bare knuckle boxing fights by stoppage and plans to keep that streak going. Martinez, meanwhile, is looking to build an impressive run of his own, and aims to become a world champion in just his third professional bout.
More bouts and ticket information will be announced soon.
