Entain Venues Live (EV Live), the pioneering live sports content provider designed for commercial venues, is proud to announce its exclusive partnership with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) in Australia and New Zealand, marking a new chapter in the evolution of combat sports entertainment for venues.
This new partnership complements EV Live's existing portfolio of premier combat sports, including the inaugural partnership with DAZN to bring the best in global boxing and Dana White’s Power Slap, growing its position as the go-to source for diverse combat sports content in commercial venues.
Backed by the visionary leadership of former professional boxer David Feldman and the unparalleled influence of UFC superstar Conor McGregor, BKFC and EV Live are poised to capture the imagination of fight fans across Australia and New Zealand.
BKFC is not just another fighting organisation; it's the next evolution of combat sports. For venues already showing UFC, adding BKFC is a natural progression that will keep them ahead of the curve and resonate with a similar audience.
says Mark Sturdy, Managing Director of EV Live.
The partnership kicks off with Knucklemania V, screening live on Sunday, January 26 at 12:00 AEDT, with an explosive main event that features Eddie Alvarez, the decorated two-time world lightweight champion across UFC and Bellator.
He faces off against Jeremy Stephens, a true MMA veteran boasting an impressive 33-fight UFC career and battles against elite opponents including Jose Aldo, Charles Oliveira, and Max Holloway.
BKFC on EV Live represents the ideal chance for venues in Australia and New Zealand to be at the forefront of combat sports, positioning themselves as the go-to destination for fight fans of all types.
Venues interested in adding BKFC to their sports entertainment roster while taking advantage of an early adopters discount, are encouraged to contact EV Live to add this new content into their sports offering.
