Cumbrian bare-knuckle fighters ranked among best in UK

Two Cumbrian bare-knuckle boxers have been rated among the best in their division in the high-profile BKFC.

Danny Christie and Agi Faulkner are named as leading fighters in the UK's middleweight and heavyweight categories respectively.

Carlisle's Christie recently moved to middleweight having previously been the British light-heavyweight champion.

Earlier this month he won his first BKFC middleweight fight with a points decision over Jimmy Millar.

Leading bare-knuckle channel The Fuse UK already rates the Currock man as the number one ranked British BKFC middleweight fighter.

And Egremont's Faulkner is rated highly too after back-to-back wins in the heavyweight division.

The west Cumbrian is rated second in the UK heavyweight rankings by The Fuse, behind world champion Mick Terrill.

Faulker's last BKFC outing came last November when he got the better of Welsh opponent Rob Cunningham.
