Welcome to our website, home to the kings of the bare-knuckle scene in Britain. We operate to stringent guidelines that makes us stand out from the others. We care for our fighters and fans, and have a moral obligation to not only give value for money but in ensuring the safety of the men willing to spill their blood for a night of glory.

It is our aim that all the other companies will approach us for our expertise and professional advice on how to run an effective, safe and profit-making fight event. Possessing the right people with the right skills we can offer professional medical staff, rings and other equipment, lighting rigs, public liability insurance as well as highly qualified judges and referees to any venue across the UK.

We do all the hard work so that all you have to do is provide the fighters!.

With over a million YouTube hits to our name and contacts across the world we are the ONLY sanctioned body that can give your company, your fighters and their sponsors a global audience. With fans rapidly losing interest in the gloved game, the opportunity is ripe now for investment  and growth in BKB.

Many people these days associate BKB with travellers fighting on wasteland but the sport has origins dating back to 4000BC. Hieroglyphics have been found in ancient Egypt depicting men fighting toe to toe with wraps around their knuckles. The Greeks also had various forms of boxing throughout the history of the Olympic Games but in England, there was a huge resurgency of BKB throughout the 17th Century.

Prize-fighters would tour the country taking on all-comers. There were basic rules such as no biting or gouging but in general they were brutal free-for-alls until the Marquis of Queensbury established his rules in 1887.

Battle hardened men like Tom Hickman, Jem Mace, Tom Cribb, James J Corbett, John L Sullivan and James Figg (who later became recognised as the first English heavyweight champion) laid solid foundations for the likes of today’s fighters and they became national heroes. Mace even travelled to the USA to fight and would later become an excellent promoter and showman. His fight events often attracted more than 2000 spectators.

At WSBKB we aim to recapture the spirit of the olden days but with the added benefit of modern technology enabling the fights to be witnessed globally by millions.

If you would like to join our growing team of fighters you will first need to attend our regular training days, held at the UK’s only BKB academy in Warrington. Keep an eye out on the facebook page UBKB as well as our ‘Future Events’ page on this site for details of upcoming training days.

You will meet Shaun Smith, the boss and the rest of the team. You will undergo a frantic fitness and sparring session where your skills will be assessed and your general fitness considered. You will also be training with some of the most experienced bare-knuckle fighters in the country so it is a huge opportunity.

Please be aware that we do NOT want to receive video submissions of street fights of lads with ‘reputations’.

in order for us to take you seriously we need to see you at the gym.

In order for us to invest our time and effort into your development, the least you can do is show some commitment on your side and come down to the training days.

We will give you all the help and encouragement you need once we know you are serious. Nobody will be allowed to just turn up and fight no matter what their reputation may be.
