About the Fighters
Kai Stewart first came to BKFC’s attention through the promotion’s national tryouts for bare-knuckle fighters and is truly a homegrown superstar. The 26-year-old returns to battle following his dominant victory over previously undefeated European Champion Nico Gaffie on March 20, 2026, thrilling the sold-out crowd at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, FL. Stewart also holds exciting world title victories over top rated contenders; Tommy Strydom (BKFC-72), Jimmy Rivera, Bryan Duran (BKFC-62) and Howard Davis (BKFC-56).
Following a four-year run in professional boxing compiling a 9-5 record, the 31-year-old Harry Gigliotti started his stellar, undefeated run in bare-knuckle fighting in December 2023. Making his highly anticipated BKFC debut on March 28, 2026, the hard-hitting Gigliotti defeated veteran Timothy Mason in the second round with a show-stopping knockout in front of his huge legion of supporters at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.
Additional fights and details for this world class evening of bare-knuckle fighting will be announced in the coming weeks. This event is pending final licensing approval from the City of Boston.
