The TRUTH behind the fastest growing combat sport | Full Documentary | BBC Sport

Published

on



*WARNING*

The following feature contains scenes of violence, blood, injury and references to drug addiction, which some viewers may find distressing.

Bare knuckle boxing has become the fastest growing combat sport over the past decade, with the number of official bouts increasing from just 21 in 2015 to more than 1,000 last year. Despite appearing to be more brutal and bloody, supporters of the sport say it is safer than gloved boxing. Critics want it banned. With shows now streamed online internationally, it’s attracting big name professional fighters. So is the extreme becoming mainstream? Is bare knuckle boxing safe? Ade Adedoyin looks at what’s behind the growing popularity of bare knuckle boxing.
