Following the inaugural Police Gazette International Cup, Freeman recaps the historic event,

“I’m really happy. It was a great card. You know, the fights had everything like knockouts. We had wars. We had the whole lot. So yes, I'm really happy. At the end of the day, our partnership with BYB is flourishing. We’re putting good fights on for the fans and that’s what it’s about. No BS, just good fights.”

There were a lot of stand-out bouts on this historic cross-promotional card that could have gotten that fight of the night nod.

Freeman sees a Jarome Hatch-Marko Martinjak trilogy manifesting now that the series is tied up. Freeman admitted Martinjak outboxed Hatch, and he did not see the stoppage as controversial in the co-main event the way some did.

Freeman also said the Tommy Turner - Barrie Jones fight cemented Jones' legacy as an all-time great in the sport.

“He’s the best. That’s it. So simple across any organization. I’ve said this before, like you see it there, he’s coming against legit opponents. He’s just putting people to sleep, you know, he’s just incredible. He’s really a soft spoken nice guy - hates doing interviews but when he gets in the Trigon, he turns into an absolute monster.”

Team BYB Extreme won the Police Gazette International Cup this year. The idea of this being an annual event is exciting, and at the end of the day, it’s all about good fights. The idea is not so centered on having team BKB emerge victorious, but more to stimulate fans of bare-knuckle boxing.

Freeman mentioned BKB is back at it in July, and then September. He said it’s 99% looking like BKB is going to Kazakhstan in October. Also, per Freeman, there’s a November show back here, and then the promotion is going to Thailand in December.
