NEWCASTLE — Scott McHugh will challenge Rolando Dy for the BKB super welterweight championship in the main event of BKB 60 on 10 October in Newcastle, as ‘The Mute’ eyes a historic sixth BKB title on the promotion’s inaugural card in the city.
McHugh is set to battle Dy, who currently holds the super welterweight crown and stands as the first Filipino bare-knuckle champion ever. The bout headlines BKB 60 and offers McHugh the chance to claim the throne and become a six-time BKB champion against one of the division’s most decorated title holders.
The headliner marks a landmark night for the organisation with its first event in Newcastle. McHugh, noted for one of the deeper resumes of the modern bare-knuckle era, addressed his broader combat sports pedigree ahead of the clash via Bare Knuckle Bowker as he prepares for Saturday’s title opportunity.
