Kimbo Slice Jr. is scheduled to fight influencer Bryce Hall at BKFC KnuckleMania 5 on January 25 in Philadelphia, marking his second venture into influencer boxing after previously competing in MMA and experiencing a recent loss in the boxing ring.
Kimbo Slice Jr. is gearing up for a showdown with a well-known influencer.
MMA Fighting’s Damon Martin spilled the beans: Slice—real name Kevin Ferguson Jr., and son of the legendary Kimbo Slice—is set to face off against popular influencer Bryce Hall. This bout will take place at BKFC KnuckleMania 5, scheduled for Jan. 25 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly.
TMZ was the first to break the news of this matchup.
Slice isn’t new to influencer fights. Back in April 2023, he stepped into the ring with OJ Rosé during an MF & DAZN X Series event in New Orleans. Unfortunately, Rosé knocked him out in the second round.
Before his boxing stint, Slice had a run in Bellator with seven fights under his belt. His record? A mixed bag: three wins, three losses, and one no-contest. His last victory was a submission win over Devon Brock in April 2018. However, a later win at Bellator 232 was overturned due to illegal strikes.
Bryce Hall has also dipped his toes into combat sports, fighting twice since 2021. He suffered a TKO loss to Austin McBroom in an exhibition bout that year but bounced back by defeating Gee Perez via injury at BKFC 48 in August 2023.
In other news, BKFC President David Feldman announced another exciting fight: combat sports veteran Bec Rawling versus Taylor Starling. Rawling is on a four-fight losing streak, including three BKFC bouts, while Starling seeks redemption after her recent loss to Britain Hart this past August.
