Bally’s is expanding its partnership with BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, combining casino venues, punch-tracking technology and streaming under the Bally’s Fightnight banner. The next event is Oct. 23 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, headlined by Jarod Grant against replacement opponent Luis Guerrero.

By the Numbers
  • Grant: 8-3 record, with 6 knockouts.
  • Guerrero: 1-1 record, with 1 knockout.
  • The Biloxi broadcast begins at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on Bally Sports Live and EstrellaTV’s free, ad-supported streaming channels.
  • The next Bally’s Fightnight event is scheduled for Nov. 20 in Dover, Delaware.
Yes, But

Grant’s opponent changed days before fight night: Guerrero replaces Bekhzod Usmonov. The event also features a notable weight-class shift, with light heavyweight champion Cub Hawkins moving down to face unbeaten Rowdy Montgomery at middleweight.

State of Play
  • Bally’s owns and operates the Biloxi venue through a subsidiary and is bringing its ForceIQ technology and distribution platforms to the event.
  • Sensors in fighters’ hand wraps track punch speed, retraction speed, punch type and G-force, with data displayed in the arena and on broadcasts.
  • The technology supports viewer features such as leaderboards, heat maps, power rankings and fantasy-style scoring.
What’s Next

The series moves to Bally’s Dover Casino Resort on Nov. 20. Hank Lundy and Jairo Santos are set to headline in a five-round welterweight bout, with both making their professional bare-knuckle debuts.

Bottom Line

Bally’s is building more than a fight-night sponsorship: it is linking the venue, live fight data and broadcast distribution in one package. The Biloxi event will put that integrated approach on display.
