Underground Bare Knuckle Boxing in the UK (VIDEO)
Once regarded as something that happens exclusively in Guy Ritchie films and on gypsy sites, bare knuckle boxing is fast becoming a thriving scene in the UK -- the ultimate British bloodsport. When Clive Martin embeds with the bare knuckle boxing elite, what he discovers is not dissimilar to Fight Club; IT technicians, builders, lifestyle coaches and even a solicitor, all throwing their unprotected fists into each other's faces. It's a subculture of honour, pride and violence. As the UK prepares to play host to the first US vs UK bare knuckle title fight in 150 years -- the biggest event the scene has known since it went underground in the 19th Century -- Clive tries to find out if violence is a cause or effect for these angry young men.

Joe Louis
Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981), better known as Joe Louis, was an American professional boxer and the World Heavyweight Champion from 1937 to 1949. He is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis helped elevate boxing from a decline in popularity in the post-Jack Dempsey era by establishing a reputation as an honest, hardworking fighter at a time when the sport was dominated by gambling interests.[1][2] Louis' championship reign lasted 140 consecutive months, during which he participated in 26 championship fights; a 27th fight, against Ezzard Charles, was a challenge to Charles' heavyweight title and so is not included in Louis' reign. Louis was victorious in 25 title defenses, a record for the heavyweight division. In 2005, Louis was ranked as the #1 heavyweight of all-time by the International Boxing Research Organization,[3] and was ranked #1 on The Ring's list of the 100 Greatest Punchers of All-Time.[4]

Bobby gunn
Gunn was born on December 25, 1973 in Ontario, Canada. His family (gypsies) emigrated from Ireland and Scotland. Gunn would make a name for himself in the Canadian amateur scene. He had a successful amateur career that spanned seven years. Gunn made his professional boxing debut on April 28, 1989 Tucson, Arizona, winning by unanimous decision over Richard Palmer. In his third pro bout, Gunn stopped future titlist Quirino Garcia in the third round. He would go on to win eight of his next ten fights, before an 11 year hiatus from professional boxing, although he did compete in more than 60 bare knuckle bouts. He resurfaced in 2004 and knocked out four straight foes before competing in one of the most notorious matches of the last decade.
SAVAGE 8-SECOND MMA KNOCKOUT! (video)
Most fights that feature Paul “The Terror” Terblanche do not make it past the first round. This fight against Janus de Lange at EFC Africa 6 was no exception. It took Terblanche just eight seconds to finish off de Lange and claim Knockout of the Night honors for his efforts. De Lange’s downfall began with what seems like a lazy-looking kick to Terblanche’s leg. The Terror quickly counters and catches de Lange on the chin with a right hand that dazes him a bit. But it is the second punch that lands directly on de Lange’s jaw that ends the fight. De Lange is out on his feet but Terblanche manages to connect one more time on the way down. Terblanche connects with three solid right hands in total as de Lange falls flat on his back. Unfortunately, the ref does not get in between de Lange and Terblanche fast enough and Terblanche lands one last vicious fight to the defenseless de Lange. There was absolutely no need for the final punch but in the heat of the moment these things happen. Terblanche went on to lose his next two fights, both by TKO, and de Lange hasn’t fought since. Still, this is a spectacular knockout and certainly one of the highlights of Paul Terblanche’s career.

Lennox Lewis
One of the best heavyweights that ever was.
But is rarely spoke about.
On 31 October 1992, Lewis knocked out Canadian Donovan "Razor" Ruddock in two rounds for the number one contender's position in the WBC rankings. It was Lewis' most impressive win to date, and established him as one of the world's best heavyweights.
