BYB Extreme Fighting performed their 33rd show in the West Midlands last weekend, living up to their name.
The aptly named ‘Wolverhampton Brawl’ featured 11 fights, as fighters went head to head at the ‘Trigon’.
A traditional boxing ring is usually square; However, the same rules do not apply in the world of bare knuckle boxing, where the arena is shaped like a triangle.
This gruesome sporting event is becoming increasingly common around the world, as competitors leave each other far bloodier than in a normal boxing match.
The event also had no shortage of black eyes, with BYB cruiserweight champion Marko Martinjak scoring the fastest knockout in the history of the sport against Bradley Scott.
Also known as The Bear, Scott took to social media a day after the loss: “I wish they would have knocked me out last night because I wouldn’t have felt my eye, unfortunately I was fine.”
‘I felt good, I’m devastated because I lost. My eye turned black. I thought I was blind and it turned out I had blood in my eye.

And he added: “We come back bigger, better and stronger.”
“Don’t take that loss like I did because I’m far from done, a loss is a lesson, put it that way.”
