00:00we got fights this weekend for the bkfc overseas they're going back out of country over to florence

00:06italy the first time ever they'll be fighting in italy uh this saturday they will have a card it's

00:10gonna be one o'clock eastern on the zone bkfc italy and it's gonna be changed that's right we

00:16found out last week that while we're supposed to have a rematch between chris camozzi and lorenzo

00:22hunt the juggernaut making his return after uh the suspension for what was you know alleged you

00:27know performance enhancers in the fight against mick tarrell well now he is injured apparently

00:32and a new person will be stepping up and you know when you have a fight organization that's based in

00:37philly of course you know you're gonna have rocky compared to it all the time so why not bring a

00:41rocky-like story and that's what they're going to try to do here with this fight card in florence

00:45italy as chris camozzi still on the card we'll be defending that title but going to be defending it

00:50against andrea bici now bici is a italian fighter from florence italy the 28 year old known as italian

00:57thunder is going to be fighting for the title he has not fought in the bkfc yet he is three and one

01:03in other bare knuckle fighting leagues coming off a split decision loss in his last fight but uh dave

01:08bellman told our man brian social last week on his show that you know it was too hard to try to get

01:14someone from the us you know someone that's involved with the bkfc already over here and maybe in that top

01:19five ranking system to have them ready and get them on a plane and get them to florence getting things

01:23like visas and travel and all that stuff set up so they're going to give a shot to a local guy

01:28that's right just like rocky just like when creed said all right i'll give you the philadelphia

01:32fighter shot filial now the philadelphia organization giving a shot to the italian fighter in florence

01:38in bici who's going to be making his debut against camozzi the 38 year old american who is holding the

01:42cruiserweight title right now of course fought the rental hunt for it lost the rental hunt got suspended

01:48got stripped camozzi went and won that belt against sawyer dp by first round ko in october

01:53this is his first title defense for the former ufc and pfl fighter he's fought in all different uh

01:57you know disciplines and organizations whether it be mma whether it be kickboxing whether it be boxing

02:02and now bare knuckle fighting he's been all around for all around the world all different people all

02:08different types now going to be fighting in italy against this local fighter bici and uh you know while

02:13it's always a nice story when the you know the small underdog gets his shot at the the champion

02:19just like the first rocky movie i think the champ's going to hold the title here i think

02:23he gets the win he's going to have a good height and reach advantage on his opponent obviously the

02:27experience because while bg has fought in other promotions this is uh you know the big one as far as

02:32most people are concerned in bare knuckle boxing so i'm going to go with camozzi to hold on to his title

02:40probably get a stoppage i'd say by the second round because you know we know how quickly

02:43he starts we know how powerful he can be and how much he can overwhelm the opponent maybe his home

02:48turf for the italian fighter but this is going to be a huge moment huge show i'm going to take

02:52camozzi to come back with his belt also on that card you have rico franco versus jimmy sweeney

02:59another debuter for the bksc but don't be fooled on this one because jimmy sweeney has probably some

03:05of the most experience you have ever heard of in a bare knuckle fighter the guy is 19 and 4 the 40 year

03:10old from ireland in bare knuckle fighting with 13 ko's in the bkb and other you know bare knuckle

03:15leagues around the world this guy has been fighting bare knuckle for a long time there's

03:18even stories about like how many more wins he has that have not been recorded in actual

03:22organizations so this guy is a legit fighter for sure and has fought rico franco before this is going

03:28to be the third time these two are fighting and i think in their words they said hopefully the last

03:31you know these guys they both respect each other they both think the other one is a great fighter but

03:35they're kind of sick and tired of fighting each other because in 2019 there was a sixth round

03:39tko stoppage for rico franco in 2021 you had a fourth round doctor stoppage for sweeney so now

03:45who will get the linchpin here in this trilogy who gets the the ultimate victory between these guys

03:50franco of course the 32 year olds from the uk is nine and three in bare knuckle fighting overall three

03:54and one in the bkfc won its first three fights before losing a decision to austin trout in spain for the

04:00title so it didn't get that win now he comes back here and faces an old foe uh you're also gonna have

04:05germany's nicole shaver returning to bkfc for the second time after a second round tko in bulgaria last

04:11march a you know very popular up-and-comer who maybe she'll make her way over here to fight against

04:16some of the best in the u.s as well you can see the power she can possess there even at her you know

04:20smaller stature so some great fights here you know some uh c panda banks also on the card for this uh

04:27italy card he'll be looking to win a second in row after losing to perdomo a couple fights ago he had

04:32a third round tko in philly in january so again looking to get back into the winning ways and get

04:37a winning streak going for him some great fights some fighters that we don't know from over in europe

04:40that we're going to introduce you for the first time but should be a great card for the bkfc in

04:44italy can't wait to watch it and talk to you all about it
