Nelson already holds the super middleweight belt and is attempting to become a two division champion. He is well versed in all forms of combat with over 50 professional contests across bare knuckle, MMA, boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai. LT is an unwavering force that uses forward pressure and accuracy to wear his opponents out. Just look at his fight with Robert Serna for the super middleweight title.

On the other hand Turner uses powerful shots to the body and the head to blast his way to victory. After more than a decade in pro boxing, Turner has wasted no time racking up the highlights in his new line of work, collecting two first round knockouts to earn him this shot.
It's a clash of styles for all the marbles at 160, don’t miss it!

In the co-main event, the reigning women's lightweight champion Patricia Juarez (4-1, 1 KO) will take on the debuting Pavla “Cutie Monster” Kladivova. For Juarez, this is a nice change of opposition having finally completed her trilogy with Monica Medina after winning the rubber match in December of 2023. Juarez is tough as nails, and has a sharp 1-2 which she throws to set up everything she does in the trigon.
Kladivova is making her bare knuckle debut but has experience in MMA where she compiled a 3-1 record with two wins coming by TKO. She’s very light on her feet and had an excellent ground game so she will likely have the advantage when this fight is in the clinch.

Adding more firepower to an already solid card, combat sports legend Uly Diaz (4-2, 4 KO’s) will face Zion Tomlinson Sr. (3-3-1NC, 3 KO’s) in a cruiserweight title eliminator. Diaz has been everywhere, with experience in boxing, MMA, and bare knuckle. He is most known for the fastest knockout in recorded combat history at just three seconds. He was also part of the inaugural BKFC Middleweight Title fight where he faced Thiago Alves, the eventual winner. For Diaz, he is still in excellent shape and has been very active in the fight game despite being 43 years old.
For Tomlinson, he got off to a hot start in BYB stopping Mattia Fonda. But after his fight with Chad Kelly ended in a No-Contest, he will be hungry to get back in the win column. With a shot at the vacant cruiserweight title on the line, both men will be ready to throw down at BYB 26!
Also featured on the card is the debut of Robert Duran Jr., son of legendary boxer Roberto Duran. In addition, crowd favourite Art Parker (2-2, 2 KO’s) makes his return to the Trigon after more than a year.
