With or without boxing gloves, BKFC heavyweight champion Ben Rothwell is willing to test his hands against the best around, including Francis Ngannou.
Rothwell, a 17-fight UFC veteran, took the bareknuckle boxing heavyweight crown at BKFC KnuckleMania 5 by stopping Mick Terrill in just 36 seconds. It was just his fourth appearance in the promotion, and three of those fights didn’t make it out of the first minute – although he’s stopped every opponent thus far.
It seems Rothwell is made for bareknuckle boxing.
