Bare-knuckle boxers spark mass brawl by starting fight during face-off

Bare-knuckle boxers Lorenzo Hunt and Mike Richman sparked a mass brawl at the press conference for their bare-knuckle boxing match in New Mexico last night.

The pair were taking part in the live press conference for the third iteration of Knucklemania, which is BKFC's marquee February event which takes place annually. And things got heated when Hunt slapped Richman during their face-off, causing the pair to grapple and ultimately drag others, including the promotion's president David Feldman, into a massive brawl.

Hunt and Richman are set to fight for the BKFC light-heavyweight title on February 17, but couldn't keep their hands to themselves as they let fly a month early at the launch event. Other fighters on stage were pushed back and tables were turned over as the pair got into it following an heated verbal exchange.
