Former boxing world champion Lee Selby is set to make his return to bare-knuckle fighting on Nov. 14, headlining BKB 61 at the Indigo at O2 Arena in London. The former IBF featherweight world champion and WBC international featherweight champion will take on an opponent who has not yet been named.
Selby retired from professional boxing in 2022 before transitioning to the bare-knuckle circuit earlier this year. He made his debut in the Trigon at BKB 55 this past June, where he secured a knockout victory against Antonia Rizzo, an opponent 14 years younger than him.
"I’m excited to be back in the Trigon and to have the opportunity to fight in London again," Selby said. "I already know exactly what BKB is all about, and I’m looking forward to getting back in there. I’m ready to put on a great night for the fans."
BKB CEO David Tetreault emphasized the significance of Selby's involvement as the organization continues its global expansion. "Lee Selby is a proven world champion and one of the biggest names in boxing, so having him back in the Trigon for BKB 61 is a huge moment for us," Tetreault said, noting that the London crowd will provide an incredible atmosphere for the event.
