Lee Selby Headlines BKB 61 Against Ollie Sentance

Lee Selby will face Ollie Sentance in the super lightweight main event at BKB 61 on November 14 at indigo at The O2 in London, with the promotion announcing a 10-bout lineup on October 22.

The card includes six main-card fights and four TikTok-exclusive bouts. The co-main event sees Marko Martinjak defend the BKB bridgerweight world championship against Matty Askin.

Selby and Sentance meet unbeaten

Selby, a former IBF featherweight champion, is 1-0 in bare-knuckle boxing, with one knockout. He made his debut at BKB 55 in Cardiff on June 27, overcoming early pressure from Antonio Rizzo before scoring knockdowns and stopping him in the second round.

Sentance is 2-0, with both wins by stoppage. He beat Nico Earwaker and also recorded a second-round TKO over Corey Healey at BKB 55. Both men therefore enter the main event coming off wins at the Cardiff show, and one will take the first loss of his bare-knuckle career.

Martinjak defends against Askin

Martinjak brings a 13-2 record into the title bout, with all 13 victories coming by knockout. Askin, a former British cruiserweight champion, is 1-0 with one knockout in bare-knuckle boxing.

The rest of the announced main card includes two welterweight bouts. Ashley Devenport, unbeaten at 3-0 with one knockout, faces Kallum Skhane, who has a 2-3 record and two knockouts. Aaron McCallum meets Simey Doherty in a rematch after their July bout at BKB 57 ended in a split draw. McCallum is 9-6-1 with seven knockouts; Doherty is 10-2-1 with three.

Dan Gittens faces Dan Cawse at welterweight, while Luke Smudger Smith meets Paul O’Sullivan at super welterweight.

Four TikTok-exclusive bouts

The remaining fights are Carl Hobley against Claas Lilie at bridgerweight, Ashley Lloyd against Marcus Pond at cruiserweight, and Kornelijus Sabaliauskas against Luke Fleming, also at cruiserweight. Hatice Ozyurt faces Jackie Cataline at lightweight.

BKB 61 is scheduled for November 14 at indigo at The O2 in London, with Selby versus Sentance topping the card and Martinjak versus Askin set as the title co-main event.
