BKFC champ Christine Ferea plans to donate brain to further CTE research

BKFC women’s flyweight champ Christine Ferea is glad to be a big part of the growth of bareknuckle boxing. While she’s enjoying being on top of the game, she also looks forward to when her days in the ring are over so she can give back to the next generation.

Ferea (8-1 BKFC) has no intentions of calling it quits any time soon. In her first fight of 2024, “Misfit” faces Jade Masson-Wong in the main event of BKFC 65 in Salt Lake City on Sept. 6. Ferea, who enters the fight on a six-fight winning streak, has really found her home in bareknuckle boxing.

Admittedly, Ferea doesn’t know where she would be today if she weren’t a fighter. She credits combat sports with saving her life, allowing her to become a “psychopath champion.” When she’s done inside the ring, she has every intention of giving back as a coach – but it won’t stop there.
