Wait 5 sec.

The Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is increasingly likely to land at Anfield – the home of Liverpool FC.That’s according to BKFC founder Dave Feldman, who says there is a 90 per cent chance his promotion visits the massive stadium for a Darren Till mega-fight next summer.McGregor has been a co-owner of BKFC since 2024 alongside Feldman and attended the promotion’s event in Glasgow this monthBKFCFormer UFC welterweight title challenger Till has become one of BKFC’s biggest stars this year.In September, he defeated fellow ex-UFC star Yoel Romero at the top of a massive Manchester card and told talkSPORT he could bring BKFC to Anfield – four months after knocking out Aaron Chalmers on his debut.That came after three lucrative appearances at KSI‘s Misfits Boxing, having decided to box in his first combat sports outing since leaving the UFC in 2023.For Feldman, Till’s stardom is enough to bring BKFC to Anfield in 2027 as part of an ambitious year which he believes will cement his promotion’s status as the No. 2 behind the UFC.View Tweet: https://x.com/hashtag/BKFC94?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwFeldman also highlighted his strong relationship with Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the owners of Anfield and Fenway Park, where BKFC had a successful event in August.BKFC’s plans for Anfield show“Definitely there [Anfield],” Feldman told talkSPORT.com when asked about his plans for Till in 2027.“There’s another option that we’re talking about as well, but I think Anfield is the option we would like to do.“Get down one more win maybe in March, and then he [Till] comes back in July or something and fights there against a very top-tier, big name opponent that we sell at a stadium.“That would be phenomenal for myself, for Darren and for the company and the growth of the sport.”Many will feel Feldman, who has spearheaded BKFC from near bankruptcy in 2018 to a company worth hundreds of millions, is simply an ambitious man.BKFC held an event on the field of Fenway Park in August and Feldman says he has built a solid relationship with owners FSG, who also own Anfield and Liverpool FCBKFCBut when he says something, he means it.Speaking specifically about a BKFC event at Anfield, Feldman added: “We’ve already had some initial conversations, and we’re going to continue those conversations.“But we’ve had some good conversations with them already, as well as major big-time iconic stadiums in the United States as well.“They’re all kind of owned by the same ownership group [FSG], so we can feed off of that because they know what we’ve already done and they’re excited about it.“I’m not telling you that’s 100 per cent happening, but I’m very, very confident it’s 100 per cent happening. Hopefully, I’m very confident it happens this summer.“There’s a lot of interest there. We definitely have to move the conversations along to get into the deal points and things like that. Feldman said there is serious interest from Anfield owners FSG to put on a BKFC event at the stadiumGetty“But they [FSG] saw what we did in different arenas, and obviously Fenway Park, and there’s interest there.“There’s interest in doing different things. There’s a lot of arenas and a lot of stadiums out there now, and they’re all looking for some big events that can help fill their arena.“I’m saying it’s 90 per cent Anfield, and then there’s another one [stadium] that is 10 per cent.“But it’s just a matter of when. It’s going to be something big this summer in the UK for BKFC.”
