Bryce Hall and Derek Perez prepare for BKFC 48 showdowns

In the world of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), two rising stars, Bryce Hall and Derek Perez, are set to take the stage at BKFC 48 in Albuquerque, NM, on Aug. 11.

Bryce Hall: From Social Media Influencer to BKFC Fighter

Bryce Hall, known for his massive following on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, is ready to make history as he steps into the squared circle for BKFC. With over 30 million online followers, Hall is no stranger to creating viral moments, and he plans to do just that with his foray into bare knuckle fighting.

Having made his professional boxing debut in 2021, Hall is not unfamiliar with hand-to-hand combat, but Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship presents a new challenge. For this fight, he has enlisted the help of Lorenzo “The Juggernaut” Hunt, the reigning BKFC World Champion at Cruiserweight and Light-Heavyweight.

Despite facing a formidable opponent in Guillermo Perez, who boasts a perfect record of 3-0 with 3 KOs, Hall remains confident and unfazed. He embraces the role of the underdog and sees the pressure on Perez to perform. Hall predicts an early victory, stating, “I do not see this going five full rounds. I think he’s underestimating how hard I hit – I am the bigger guy going into this – and I don’t think he’s taking me seriously in the slightest. I see this going two rounds, max.”

For Hall, the fight against Perez represents an opportunity to showcase his fighting skills and prove that he can succeed in the world of BKFC while leaving a lasting impact on the combat sports community.

Derek Perez: A Confident Ascent in BKFC

In contrast to Hall’s social media fame, Derek Perez’s rise in BKFC has been a more traditional path through sheer hard work and determination. Having debuted at KnuckleMania 3 in February, Perez impressed fans and critics alike with his composed performance. He remains level-headed about his success and views every fight as just another day at the office.

Perez’s next challenge comes in the form of Keith Richardson, a tough bantamweight opponent with a record of 2-0 and 1 KO. Despite the high stakes and the opportunity to move closer to a title shot, Perez remains composed and focused on the task at hand. He sees this fight as the most crucial of his career, and he is determined to emerge victorious.

“We’re looking to be in title contention, and there will be no stopping us then,” Perez confidently declares.

As BKFC 48 approaches, both Bryce Hall and Derek Perez are mentally and physically prepared to seize their respective moments in the squared circle. Whether it’s Hall’s attempt to become the first and only influencer to succeed in BKFC or Perez’s pursuit of championship glory, the fans can expect thrilling fights that will add to the legacy of the sport.

The BKFC 48 event, featuring Hall and Perez’s battles, will be broadcast live on The BKFC App on Aug. 11, promising an action-packed night for bare knuckle fighting enthusiasts worldwide.
