Bare-Knuckle Fighters in Need of Gyms – A Nationwide Network in the Making completely free service by BKN UK
JIMMY SWEENEY AT ELITE BOXING

In the world of bare-knuckle boxing, fighters come from all walks of life. Many are hardworking men who spend their weeks traveling the UK for work—bricklayers, scaffolders, truck drivers, and laborers by day, warriors by heart. But the tough reality of life on the road makes training a challenge.
Without a stable gym to call home, many fighters struggle to stay sharp. Some are forced to make do with commercial gyms that lack a real fight culture, while others go weeks without proper sparring or technical work. In a sport that demands peak conditioning and skill, this can mean the difference between victory and defeat.
That’s why Bare Knuckle News UK is stepping up. We’re building a nationwide network of bare-knuckle-friendly boxing gyms, offering fighters a place to train no matter where they are. These gyms will be listed on our official website, providing a resource for any traveling fighter looking to stay fight-ready.
This initiative comes with no cost to gyms—our goal is simply to support the sport we love. We want to ensure that every fighter has access to proper training, regardless of which promotion they fight for.
If you run a gym that welcomes fighters and supports them as fighters first, we want to hear from you. Get in touch via the link in our bio or contact us directly. Together, we can make this sport bigger and better for everyone.
A special thanks to Elite Boxing Gym for letting us use them as pin of our 1st features in the up and coming weeks
