According to BKB’s announcement Tuesday, Martinjak (13-2, 13 KOs)
will return to action against Askin (1-0, 1 KO) in the title
matchup.
Croatia’s Martinjak will look to continue his reign as BKB
bridgerweight champion. Askin, meanwhile, enters his biggest
bare-knuckle bout after winning his promotional debut. The matchup
adds another former boxing champion to a BKB 61 card already
headlined by Selby, a former IBF featherweight champion.
The promotion also announced a welterweight rematch between Aaron
McCallum and Simey Doherty. Ash Devenport will face Kallum Skhane
in another welterweight clash.
