Jared Warren faces Joseph Creer in the main event of BKFC Fight Night on May 2 at OCC Road House & Museum in Clearwater, FL. The pair square off in the scheduled five-round bare-knuckle boxing clash at light heavyweight.
41-year-old Warren (7-3) looks to return to winning ways. In his previous fight last December, the former champion from Tampa, FL lost his title by knockout in 44 seconds against Mike Richman.
Creer (3-2) of Columbus, GA targets his second straight victory. The 43-year-old defeated David Simpson by unanimous decision in his previous outing, also in December.
“The Tampa – St. Petersburg area has played host to some of our most memorable events including KnuckleMania I in 2021,” said Founder and President of BKFC, David Feldman. “The fans there are incredible and we’re excited to promote another action-packed event and work with our friends at Bert’s Barracuda Harley Davidson.”
