BKFC Clearwater Announced for April 24 at OCC Roadhouse
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship returns to Florida on April 24 with BKFC Clearwater, headlined by a pivotal light heavyweight showdown between former champion Jared Warren and reigning BKFC UK Light Heavyweight Champion Conor Cooke at the OCC Roadhouse.
Warren, a battle-tested veteran and former titleholder, is looking to reestablish himself at the top of the division. Known for his toughness and willingness to engage in gritty exchanges, Warren has long been a fixture in the light heavyweight ranks. A win over the surging UK champion would immediately thrust him back into the championship conversation.
Cooke enters the bout riding serious momentum. The British standout has won four consecutive fights, three of them by knockout, showcasing both precision and finishing ability. Most recently, Cooke scored a third-round knockout over Anthony Holmes, further cementing his status as one of the most dangerous strikers in the division. Now stepping onto American soil, Cooke has the opportunity to make a statement against a former world champion and prove his run is no fluke.
The co-main event shifts to the bantamweight division, where former title challenger and current number one contender “Royal” Ryan Reber meets seasoned veteran Joshua Oxendine. Reber has been a mainstay in BKFC’s lighter weight classes, compiling seven promotional appearances with five victories and three knockouts. His experience inside the squared circle and aggressive style have made him one of the division’s most recognizable names.
Oxendine brings 30 professional fights worth of experience across MMA, boxing, and bare knuckle competition. He made a successful promotional debut with a decision win over Travis Thompson at KnuckleMania 6, immediately establishing himself as a legitimate threat in the division. His versatility and composure could pose a unique challenge for Reber.
With former champions, rising international stars, and top contenders colliding, BKFC Clearwater is shaping up to deliver another hard-hitting night of action on April 24 at the OCC Roadhouse.
