Mike Perry held a special announcement press conference on Friday to reveal details and the unique ruleset behind his new fight promotion, Dirty Boxing Championship (DBC).
Perry, who meets Jake Paul inside of the boxing ring later tonight (Sat., July 20, 2024) live on DAZN PPV from inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla., hosted his own presser on Friday to speak with media members about his new business venture. “Platinum” was joined on stage by a few additional partners before he dove into details about DBC.
While Perry has competed in mixed martial arts (MMA), boxing, and bareknuckle boxing throughout his professional combat career, DBC will incorporate aspects from a variety of sports. Luckily, Perry was more than willing to physically demonstrate the action that fight fans should expect to see from his new organization.
Check out Perry’s detailed-explanation below along with a breakdown of the official ruleset (per DBC’s website):
- 5 oz. gloves
- Elbows are allowed
- Open palm strikes are allowed
- Ground-and-pound on a downed opponent is allowed
- No grappling or submissions are allowed
- 18’ foot ring

Perry, who has experienced a rise in fame since joining Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) back in 2022, has been working on DBC for over a year. The new promotion is hoping to host its first event in September, but they have yet to lock down a broadcast deal.
