MIAMI, FLORIDA (August 28, 2026) – BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, the world’s largest professional bare knuckle boxing organization, returns to the James L. Knight Center on Saturday night for an unforgettable evening of world-class fights and the most talked-about title fight in bare knuckle history. Gareth A. Davies called this event the superbowl of bare-knuckle fighting.
“This will be donned as the greatest heavyweight fight in the history of all bare-knuckle.”
David Tetreault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, said, “It is going to be an amazing event.”
All eyes were on Mick Terrill, who tipped the scale at 260 lbs. Terrill was set to sit ringside as a commentator for BKB 58 before demanding, and getting. There was no training camp, no gradual weight cut, just a major opportunity with the BKB Heavyweight World Title on the line.
Across the stage, undefeated champion Gustavo Trujillo made championship weight at 241 lbs calm, composed, and unmoved by the circumstances that brought his opponent to Miami.
“Whoever wins this will be one of the legends.” Mick Terrill said. “As long as I’ve got two arms I’ll still fight. Someone’s going to sleep.”
“The people need to understand who Gustavo Trujillo is,” ‘The Cuban Assassin’ Trujillo added. “I have wanted a fight with Terrill since forever. You need to be ready for a war tomorrow.”
The heavyweight title fight anchors a card built to deliver from top to bottom. Olympic gold medalist and former two-division world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa made weight for his highly anticipated BKB debut against Yesner “Cuajadita” Talavera, while UFC veteran and former title contender Aspen Ladd also made weight ahead of her own BKB debut against Bianca Daimoni. Robert Duran Jr., son of boxing legend Roberto Duran, weighed in for his hometown clash with Ryan Spivey, and BKB World Champions Alberto Blas and Yampier Ramirez both made weight ahead of title defenses on home soil in Miami. Plus, a set of action-packed prelim bouts that can be watched on TikTok.
