It goes without saying that it's a big night for fighting on Saturday. But while there will be plenty of attention focussed on the heavyweight fight in Riyadh, there is plenty of other action taking place elsewhere as well.

Over in the United States in the squared circle there's a huge BKFC fight taking place in the women's flyweight category where Christine Vicens, an aggressive and dynamic fighter, is set to challenge reigning champion Christine Ferea, who has long dominated the division. Vicens believes she will be the fighter to finally bring an end to the reign of Champion.

Ahead of the fight, let's take a moment to find out more about Vicens and the fight against Ferea, a bout which appears on the undercard of the Jared Warren versus Mike Richman card.

Who is Christine Vicens?

Christine Vicens is a rising star in the BKFC known for her fearless approach and relentless pace inside the ring. With an impressive background in mixed martial arts and striking disciplines, she has quickly made a name for herself as one of the division’s most dangerous contenders.

Her transition to bare-knuckle fighting has been seamless, with her high-pressure style proving to be a nightmare for opponents. Her BKFC record is 3-0-0.

A unique style for bare-knuckle boxing

Vicens brings a unique blend of technical precision and raw aggression, making her a formidable opponent. She excels at controlling the pace of fights, utilising sharp combinations and well-timed counters to outwork her adversaries.

Her ability to adapt mid-fight has earned her a reputation as a tactical yet ferocious competitor.

Christine Ferea: the dominant champion

Standing in Vicens' way is Christine Ferea, the undisputed queen of the BKFC flyweight division. Ferea has built a legacy on toughness, skill, and a near-perfect record in bare-knuckle combat. Known as 'Misfit,'

Ferea’s explosive power and exceptional defensive skills have allowed her to reign supreme for years. Her dominance in the division makes her one of BKFC’s most respected champions. She heads into the fight with a 9-1-0 record.

The stakes: a chance to make history

For Vicens, this fight represents an opportunity to dethrone a long-standing champion and make history in the flyweight division. Ferea has been impervious to challengers thus far, but Vicens believes she has the tools to finally unseat her.

A victory would not only bring the championship belt to Vicens but also solidify her place among the elite in bare-knuckle fighting.

Keys to victory

For Vicens, controlling the tempo and avoiding Ferea’s devastating power punches will be crucial. She’ll need to rely on her cardio and ring IQ to outlast the champion in what is expected to be a gruelling fight. Conversely, Ferea will look to impose her will early, using her power and experience to test Vicens’ resolve.

The fight in her own words

Speaking to the BKFC website ahead of the fight, Vicens was full of confidence. She said: “I know that I have all the tools to win — mentally and physically — and I’m ready to bring home the belt. “Aside from just being super tough and technically very good, I think Christine has had a tough life in general, and that builds a lot of resilience.

"We may differ in our backgrounds, but I’ve been a fighter all of my life as well. That builds a lot of character and makes you the dog that you need to be in BKFC.”
