BKFC 96 brings a light heavyweight championship bout to the OVO HYDRO on Saturday 7 November. The card opens at 19:00 GMT, with the main event expected at 22:00 on Saturday, UK and Irish time. DAZN will broadcast the event on pay-per-view, priced at £24.99 in the UK.
The title contest is set for five two-minute rounds, the format used for both championship fights and main events under the bare-knuckle boxing rules. Closed-fist punches are the only permitted strikes, and clinches are broken after three seconds. The headline bout is expected three hours after the card opens, although its 22:00 start remains an estimate.
The supporting card spans six weight divisions, with another light heavyweight contest accompanying the championship bout. Heavyweight and middleweight each account for two undercard fights, as do bantamweight and featherweight. A single welterweight contest completes the undercard, making ten supporting bouts beneath the light heavyweight title fight at the top of the bill.
