Social media superstar Bryce Hall was expected to make his bareknuckle boxing debut against Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. as part of the upcoming BKFC: “KnuckleMania 5” event on Jan. 25 on DAZN pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
That fight is now canceled.
“Honestly, it’s whatever, I’m just gonna run with the narrative that Kimbo Slice Jr. is afraid of Bryce Hall — Tik Tok dancing Bryce Hall,” the 25 year-old content creator said on Twitter. “I will still be attending the fight on January 25th. I guess instead of getting punched in the face bareknuckle, I will be in the audience, drinking a beer or something.”
Ferguson Jr. has yet to comment on his withdrawal.
Former UFC lightweight champion Eddie “Underground King” Alvarez collides with fellow Octagon veteran Jeremy “Lil’ Heathen” Stephens atop the “KnuckleMania 5” lineup. Elsewhere on the card, heavyweight champion Mick Terrill goes to war against former UFC 265-pound bruiser “Big” Ben Rothwell.
