BKFC 67, scheduled for October 12 in Marbella, Spain, will feature a high-profile amateur bout between MMA personalities Ben Davis and Oscar Willis, alongside a headline fight for the vacant lightweight title between Franco Tenaglia and Tony Soto.
BKFC is giving the people what they want.
On Monday, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship announced its upcoming BKFC 67 card. It’s set for Oct. 12 at Marbella Arena in Marbella, Spain. The event will feature a high-profile amateur clash between two sizable MMA personalities: Ben Davis and Oscar Willis.
An emerging name in combat sports, “The Bane” has made waves in the commentary booth for several promotions. He’s also been on-air talent for DAZN and Misfits Boxing. Davis has dabbled in various fighting disciplines, losing to Brad Boulton in a grappling match in May 2023 and then to Gabriel Silva — Anderson Silva’s son — in a boxing bout at Misfits 9 this past September. Most recently, Davis secured a unanimous decision win in his Karate Combat debut.
“This is easily the craziest thing I’ve ever done,” Davis told MMA Fighting. “Odds of me getting slept again are high, but f*ck it, we ball. I’ve tried my best to do things differently and feel I’ve checked nearly every big box. BJJ, boxing, karate, and now bare-knuckle. I believe this all ends with an MMA debut next.”
“My ultimate goals are related to my broadcasting career,” he added. “But while I’m young and able, I feel it’s important to walk it as much as I talk it.”
Davis faces a significant challenge in Willis, best known as the face of The Mac Life. Willis made his MMA debut in 2022, winning a unanimous decision at Tuff-N-Uff: Fight for Our Troops 11. This will be his first fight since then and his bare-knuckle debut.
“BKFC felt like the right promotion, Bane felt like the right opponent, and a bullfighting arena in Spain felt like the right venue,” Willis told MMA Fighting. “There’s no beef here; I get on well with him. But all’s fair in love and war — and I’ll bring both for Ben in October.”
BKFC 67 is set to be headlined by a battle for the vacant lightweight title between Franco Tenaglia and Tony Soto.
