Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

Just announced is the highly anticipated, heavyweight main event between No. 4-ranked and Undefeated Cuban Powerhouse, Leonardo Perdomo, (7-0) of Miami, Fla. and Former Two-Time World Champion and No. 3-ranked Arnold ‘Bomaye’ Adams, (7-3), of Chicago, Ill.

Standing 5’11” and of similar build as heavyweight boxing icon ‘Mike Tyson’, Leonardo Perdomo kicked off his 2025 campaign with a devastating first-round knockout of former boxing world champion Steve Herelius. Prior knockouts in the opening stanza under the BKFC banner occurred last year against Levi de Costa (Dec. 21, 2024), Steven Banks (Sept. 13, 2024), Leo Bercier (June 21, 2024) and Bobby Brents (Feb. 2, 2024).

The BKFC homegrown Perdomo made his promotional debut with a first-round stoppage of Joseph White (June 23, 2023), followed by the same result against Ryan Shough (Aug. 24, 2023).

A longtime and popular BKFC veteran, Arnold Adams became the company’s first heavyweight world champion by defeating Sam Shewmaker at BKFC-3 on Oct. 20, 2018. His second reign kicked off with a victory over then-champion Joey Beltran at BKFC Fight Night New York on Nov. 6, 2021.

Adams would successfully defend the world title against Dillon Cleckler on May 6, 2022, at BKFC-25 before having his title run stopped by Alan Belcher at BKFC-36. Most recently, he challenged for the world title at BKFC-56 in a hotly contested clash with then-champion Mick Terrill, losing in a rematch of his prior victory.
