The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship announced its return to Clearwater, Florida, with BKFC Fight Night: Warren vs Cooke taking place at OCC Road House & Museum on April 24.
Tampa’s former light heavyweight champion Jared Warren (8-3) and BKFC UK champion Conor Cooke (6-1) of Northern Ireland square off at light heavyweight.
Warren is coming off a first-round TKO victory over Joseph Creer at the previous BKFC Clearwater event last May.
Cooke defeated Anthony Holmes by third-round TKO due to a cut in Derby last December.
