BKFC 90 Birmingham: Connor Tierney vs Rico Franco

BKFC 90 Birmingham: Connor Tierney vs Rico Franco

Sat, May 30 EDT3:00 PM EDT

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) returns across the pond for the biggest night of bare-knuckle boxing in British history as the promotion presents BKFC 90: Birmingham, streaming live on TrillerTV. Emanating from the massive Utilita Arena Birmingham, this blockbuster event features a highly anticipated domestic grudge rematch for the interim BKFC Welterweight Championship, a box-office cross-sport debut, and a stacked undercard packed with elite European strikers and global prospects.

History will be made in the main event as two of the absolute best 165-pounders in the world collide in a highly anticipated sequel for the Interim BKFC Welterweight Title. The hometown hero Connor "The Coventry Kid" Tierney enters the arena looking for ultimate retribution. Tierney is a master of distance, combining crisp boxing fundamentals with lethal power, and is hunting his third consecutive victory inside the Squared Circle.

Standing in his way is the dangerous, relentless Rico "Bon Bon" Franco. Franco holds a massive psychological edge, having previously stopped Tierney with a lightning-fast knockout under a different promotional banner back in 2019. Known for his legendary cardio, exceptional footwork, and a chin of granite, Franco enters this rematch having won all three of his official BKFC appearances by way of devastating finish. Expect a highly technical, explosive "toe-to-toe war" from the opening bell.

The co-main event features a true box-office spectacle as former UFC Welterweight World Title challenger Darren "The Gorilla" Till makes his highly anticipated, explosive debut inside the BKFC Squared Circle. The combat sports icon steps right into a dangerous light heavyweight battle against reality TV star turned formidable combat athlete Aaron "The Joker" Chalmers. Chalmers is completely unblemished in bare-knuckle competition and holds the ring experience advantage, making this a fascinating test of Till's world-class Muay Thai striking against Chalmers' gritty bare-knuckle durability.

A veteran showcase pits the terrifying power of heavy-handed UFC veteran John "The White Mike Tyson" Phillips against the smooth, technical boxing veteran Ryan Barrett. Phillips' raw, fight-ending hook power colliding with Barrett's defensive prowess makes this a highly volatile addition to the main card. More
