The International Bare Knuckle Boxing League is a major global project launched by the International Boxing Association in July 2025. The league is driving the establishment of bare-knuckle boxing as an independent, fully recognised sport, underpinned by rigorous medical standards, mandatory insurance, and robust legal safeguards. A unified set of rules and a steadfast commitment to safety effectively minimise risk while fully protecting all event participants—including fighters, referees, promoters, and organisers.

Furthermore, IBA Bare Knuckle offers a vital, fully fledged career pathway for athletes looking to forge a new route outside traditional boxing. The league provides these competitors with a premier global platform, ensures comprehensive social protection, and opens up an alternative, highly visible route to professional recognition and success.
