Devin (The Canadian Assassin) Gibson prepares for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
Hurt hands are nothing new to Devin Gibson. It comes with the territory for a bare-knuckle fighter.
Gibson says there is only a handful of other bare-knuckle fighters in Canada, citing Young, Jonny Tello, Jade Masson-Wong and Donny Wonch – with fighting abroad the only current option. It worked last time out against American Kody Murray at BKFC New York 2 in March 2022 in Salamanca, N.Y. A study presented at the 2020 Association of Ringside Physicians annual conference suggested while bare-knuckle fighters suffered more facial cuts, their concussion rate was lower than that in gloved boxing and MMA. Surprisingly the data also revealed that the hand fracture rate was lower in bare-knuckle bouts than in boxing or MMA.
His death prompted the Association of Boxing Commission’s medical committee to issue a statement expressing concern that bare-knuckle competitors, usually older and at the tail end of their career after competing in other combat sports, may be at “higher risks for acute and chronic injuries.” Gibson says he has worked on head movement and changing the angle and power of his punches in bare-knuckle bouts.
Gibson would like to fight more often but says, with the sport not part of the Canadian landscape, he is not seen as a box-office draw yet. Cards sanctioned by local commissions have been held in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York and Wyoming.
Gibson was set to make his pro boxing debut in Alabama in early 2021 only to find the fight was off after making weight. A bare-knuckle card was slated for a week later and, after meeting some people involved in the sport, Gibson took part in a BKFC tryout in New York state where he met his future manager, Kevin Smith.
