LONDON — Television X has joined forces with bare-knuckle boxing league BKB to showcase an exclusive combat sports event.
The showdown, “BKB 15,” will be broadcast live on TVX Pay Per Night, Sky Channel 900, on Saturday, Jan. 26, starting at 7 p.m.
Being billed as “Knock one out — the boys’ night in”, pay-per-view customers will get all the fight action, plus the bonus of a night of Television X movies across three Sky channels when the “BKB” event ends.
Television X stars Rebecca Jane Smyth and Ava Austen will be in attendance on the night to glam up proceedings and lead out the fighters.
“I’m thrilled about our return to pay-per-view sports. And what better way to make our mark than with bare knuckle boxing,” said TVX CEO, Chris Ratcliff.
BKB bosses Jim Freeman and Joe Brown have 11 fights lined up, pairing fighters from BKB, traditional boxing and MMA.
BKB 15 introduces the opening round of the sport’s first ever Prizefighter tournament. The last fighter standing will net a cool prize pool of £10,000, and a shot at the world super-middleweight championship recently vacated by pound-for-pound king Jimmy ‘The Celtic Warrior’ Sweeney.
Viewers can purchase the event by calling 0871 271 5599. The event is available on TVX Pay Per Night, Sky Channel 900.
