Philadelphia, PA (October 23, 2020) Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, The World’s Fastest Growing Sport, presents BKFC-14 on Friday, November 13 from the InterContinental Miami, Florida, it was announced today by Dave Feldman, President of BKFC. 

BKFC-14 is headlined by the highly anticipated BKFC 155lb. World Championship Grudge Match between Champion Luis ‘Baboon’ Palomino and Challenger Jim ‘The Bare Knuckle Beast’ Alers. Co-featured is the BKFC ‘Interim’ 135lb. World Championship between Dat ‘Be Dat’ Nguyen and Reggie ‘EZ’ Barnett. In a special attraction women’s bout, Randine Eckholm will battle Britain Hart. 

“This is our fourth event in Florida and we couldn’t be more excited to return with an outstanding card on Friday, November 13 for BKFC-14 in Miami, FL,” said Feldman. “We’ve created a Special Attraction VIP Event at the InterContinental with a truly memorable evening for our supportive fans in Florida including numerous celebrities from the combat sports world in attendance. BKFC-14 also will be broadcast exclusively on the BKFC App to our rapidly growing International fanbase.” 

“In our 155lb. world championship main event Luis Palomino and Jim Alers are two outstanding bare knuckle fighters with a true hatred for each other as shown at our press conference in August. They’ve needed to settle this for a long time and at BKFC-14 they finally will.” 

The bad-blood between Palomino and Alers reached a boiling point on August 18, 2020 during a BKFC press conference to announce the signing of former UFC Superstar Paige Van Zant. In front of a packed house of international media, Palomino and Alers engaged in a volatile shouting match. 

“Reggie Barnett has stepped in for Johnny Bedford who injured his back in training to face Dat Nguyen in an explosive clash for the 135lb. Interim World Title for our co-featured bout,” continued Feldman.
