BKB 59 Tijuana
On Saturday, September 19, 2026, combat sports history unfolds. BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing officially partners with Zanfer Boxing to take over Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. This massive debut brings raw, bare-knuckle action south of the border for the very first time. Fans packing the Auditorio Municipal de Tijuana will witness a truly spectacular night of fights. Now, they get a championship doubleheader right in their own backyard.
Fernandez Defends Against Big Pod
The main event features an absolutely massive clash. Julian “Pit Bull Jr” Fernandez (3-0) proudly defends his BKB Super Cruiserweight title. The popular Tijuana native enters the Trigon boasting a perfect bare-knuckle record. Recently, Fernandez scored a brutal first-round knockout over Alex Wilson. Naturally, he wants to put on a legendary show for his hometown crowd.
However, standing in his way is the dangerous Dan “Big Pod” Podmore. Podmore is a former three-division BKB champion. He holds immense experience in grueling bare-knuckle wars. With a solid record, Podmore recently finished Jarome Hatch via technical knockout in Cardiff. This main event guarantees explosive fireworks from the opening bell. Expect heavy hands and pure aggression.
Ulloa Battles Nguyen For Championship Gold
The action certainly does not stop there. The incredible BKB 59 co-main event promises equally intense thrills. Mexico’s own Cecilia Ulloa steps up to face Andy “The CrAsian” Nguyen. Together, they will battle for the vacant BKB Super Flyweight championship strap.
Ulloa brings eighteen impressive years of combat sports experience into this huge bout. The fierce Puerto Vallarta native wants to claim world gold on home soil. Meanwhile, Nguyen makes her mark as a decorated MMA champion transitioning gracefully to bare-knuckle combat. This historic title fight adds incredible depth to the amazing fight card.
