DOVER, DELAWARE (September 28, 2026) — BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing, the world’s largest professional bare knuckle boxing organization, today announced that former WBO Lightweight title challenger “Hammerin’” Hank Lundy will make his BKB debut at Bally’s Fightnight by BKB on Friday, November 20, at the Rollins Center at Bally’s Dover Casino Resort in Dover, Delaware. Tickets are available at ballysdover.com/entertainment.
The event will mark BKB’s first-ever appearance in Delaware as the organization continues its expansion across the United States. Lundy, who signed with BKB in July, brings nearly two decades of professional boxing experience into the Trigon and will look to make an immediate impact in his BKB debut.
A Philadelphia native, Lundy compiled a 32-14-1 professional boxing record with 14 knockouts and challenged Terence Crawford for the WBO Super Lightweight World Championship in 2016. He also captured multiple titles during his career, including the WBO NABO Lightweight, NABF Lightweight, WBC Silver Lightweight and WBC Silver Super Lightweight championships.
Known as “Hammerin’ Hank,” Lundy has built his reputation on taking on some of the sport’s toughest competition and now enters a new chapter of his career in bare knuckle boxing with BKB.
“We knew when we signed Hank that his style and mentality were made for BKB, and now we finally get to see him inside the Trigon,” said David Tetreault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing. “He’s been in there with some of the best fighters in the world, and having him make his BKB debut at Bally’s Fightnight by BKB is a great way to introduce him to our fans.”
“I’ve fought all over the world and against some of the best in boxing, but I’m always looking for the next challenge,” said Hank Lundy. “Now I get to step into the Trigon at Bally’s Fightnight by BKB right in my backyard, and I’m coming to Dover ready to put on a show.”
“We’re always looking for ways to bring new live entertainment experiences to Bally’s Dover, and BKB is a great addition to the lineup,” said Nicholas Polcino, Vice President and General Manager of Bally’s Dover Casino Resort. “The Rollins Center is a natural fit for the energy of a BKB event, and we’re excited to welcome fight fans to Dover for the first time.”
BKB’s fully-integrated, 360-degree partnership with Bally’s brings the sport to new audiences through live events at Bally’s properties across the United States. Bally’s Fightnight by BKB combines Bally’s venues, proprietary ForceIQTM punch sensor technology and exclusive broadcast distribution to create an integrated combat entertainment experience, with sensors capturing punch volume, type and impact force in real time. The Dover fight card will be broadcast exclusively on Bally’s digital platforms, including Bally Sports Live apps on phones and TVs, ballysports.com and Stadium free ad-supported TV (FAST) channel.
The partnership launched successfully with the first Bally's Fightnight by BKB event in January at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi, and is set to return for another exciting night of fights on Friday, October 23. The inaugural Dover event continues the partnership’s expansion to Bally’s properties across the United States.
Tickets are on sale now, with four seating options available, ranging from Elevated Arena Seating to Trigon Ringside. Doors will open at 6pm ET, with the event beginning at 7pm ET. Tickets are available at ballysdover.com/entertainment.
More exciting fights for the November 20 card will be announced soon. For more information, visit bkbbareknuckle.com.
