Legendary Bare Knuckle Fighter Bobby Gunn Reflects on the Evolution of the Sport at Knucklemania
In the thick of Knuckletown, during the event of Knucklemania, legendary bare-knuckle fighter Bobby Gunn took a moment to share his insights and reflections on the sport he loves.
Known for his incredible record of 73-0 in illegal bare-knuckle contests, Gunn's presence at Knucklemania added a touch of authenticity and history to the event. As he sat down for an interview with BigFace, Gunn exuded a sense of pride and excitement, expressing his joy at witnessing the growth and mainstream acceptance of bare-knuckle fighting.
"The sport is fabulous," Gunn exclaimed, his passion for bare knuckle evident in his words. "I'm so glad it's coming along now like it should be instead of underground. Above the ground, legal. But I paved the road here for all this, you know, to come here. And I'm glad my goal was for these fighters one day to be fighting, you know, not getting arrested, being able to do it. And it's happening. I'm so happy for all the fighters."
Gunn's influence in the formation of the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) was acknowledged by BKFC owner David Feldman, who credited Gunn with playing an instrumental role in the sport's development. Gunn, in turn, expressed his admiration for Feldman and the strides the BKFC has made in bringing bare-knuckle fighting into the mainstream.
Reflecting on the future of the sport, Gunn drew parallels to the trajectory of the UFC, envisioning bare-knuckle fighting as a mega-sport with widespread appeal. However, he emphasized the importance of preserving the true art of bare knuckle and ensuring that fighters are trained in its nuances.
"The real bare knuckle fighter art, if it was applied to their training regime, it'd be help of a lot of fighters," Gunn remarked, hinting at his desire to contribute to the development of future bare-knuckle athletes.
As the interview concluded, Gunn's presence served as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of bare-knuckle fighting, inspiring both fans and fighters alike to continue pushing the boundaries of the sport.
With his new book, "Bare Knuckle," hitting the stands, Gunn's legacy as a pioneer and advocate for bare-knuckle fighting continues to grow, leaving an indelible mark on the sport he holds dear.
