On June 14th, 2024, BYB Extreme put on BYB 27 headlined by featherweight champion Harold McQueen taking on the undefeated Jon Barnard in a lightweight title eliminator.
It was the champ who struck first as he dropped Barnard twice in the first two rounds. But the challenger weathered the storm, held his own until the third, and then turned the tables on McQueen. He broke him down in the corner, forcing the champ to take a knee and not get up before the 10 count. An unbelievable comeback for Barnard as he wins the biggest fight of his life, earns Knockout of the Night, and is now set to take on Julio Tanori-Rodriguez for the lightweight title next.
Even though the main event had a case for it, the awarded Fight of the Night saw Yordan Fuentes stay unbeaten after a hard-fought 5-round split decision against Jarome Hatch.
Full card results:
McQueen KO 3 Barnard
Fuentes SD Hatch
Isaiah Washington TKO 3 Marcus Morris
Skylar “The Goon” Thomas KO 4 Shyanna Bintliff
Brandon Birr KO 4 Brandon Desrosier
James Bodnar KO 1 Craig Williams
Lukas Jones KO 1 Christopher Gonzalez
