Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship will host BKFC 92 on the field at Fenway Park in Boston, marking the first bareknuckle boxing event ever sanctioned by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission. BKFC CEO David Feldman revealed the promotion had been working to enter Massachusetts for several years before the opportunity arose to stage the event at the iconic ballpark. Feldman insisted on using the actual playing field rather than the stadium concourse, and Fenway Park's management quickly aligned with that vision to make the event happen.
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is headed to one of sport's most storied venues, with BKFC 92 set to take place on the playing field at Fenway Park in Boston — a milestone event that will mark the first bareknuckle boxing card ever sanctioned by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission.
BKFC CEO David Feldman has been working to bring the promotion into Massachusetts for several years, and the chance to stage the breakthrough event at Fenway Park provided the right moment to make it happen. Feldman was insistent that the action take place on the actual grass of the ballpark rather than on a concourse or auxiliary space, and Fenway Park's management aligned with that vision to bring the plan together.
Why it matters
- Massachusetts becomes the latest state to formally sanction bareknuckle boxing, extending the sport's regulatory footprint across the country.
- Fenway Park, one of the most recognizable venues in American sports history, gives BKFC its most high-profile stage to date.
- Staging the fights on the playing field itself, rather than a secondary area of the ballpark, signals the level of institutional buy-in the promotion secured from Fenway's ownership.
The event represents a significant step in BKFC's ongoing effort to bring bareknuckle competition into mainstream American sports culture. Gaining sanction from a major northeastern athletic commission, particularly one that had not previously regulated the sport, adds institutional legitimacy that could open doors in other states where the promotion has yet to operate. The combination of a historic venue, a new regulatory relationship, and a distinctive in-field setup makes BKFC 92 one of the more consequential events in the promotion's history.
