A Quebec-based company is making waves in the world of combat sports by proposing to bring bare-knuckle fighting to Canada.
The company, known as “Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship” (BKFC), has already gained popularity in the United States and is now setting its sights on expanding into the Canadian market.
According to BKFC president David Feldman, the company has been in talks with the Canadian government and is hopeful that they will be able to hold their first event in Canada by the end of 2021.
Feldman believes that Canada is ready for bare-knuckle fighting and that it will be a huge success in the country. He argues that the sport is safer than traditional boxing as it eliminates the use of gloves, which can cause more damage to the brain due to the repetitive impact.
However, not everyone is on board with the idea of bringing bare-knuckle fighting to Canada. Some critics argue that the sport is too violent and could lead to serious injuries for the fighters.
In response, Feldman assures that BKFC has strict safety protocols in place, including medical screenings and mandatory rest periods between fights. He also points out that the fighters are highly trained and skilled athletes who know the risks involved.
BKFC has already gained support from some Canadian fighters, including former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, who believes that bare-knuckle fighting could be a great addition to the combat sports scene in Canada.
If BKFC is successful in bringing bare-knuckle fighting to Canada, it could open up a new market for the sport and provide more opportunities for Canadian fighters to showcase their skills.
While the idea of bare-knuckle fighting may be controversial, it is clear that BKFC is determined to make its mark in Canada and is confident that the sport will be well-received by Canadian audiences.
Only time will tell if BKFC will be able to break into the Canadian market and revolutionize the world of combat sports. But one thing is for sure, the company is not backing down from its goal of bringing bare-knuckle fighting to Canada.
