Artem Lobov to face rival in blockbuster bare knuckle rematch in November

Artem Lobov will continue his bare knuckle boxing venture this year as he returns to the ring to face a familiar foe in November.

The Russian Hammer will take on Jason Knight in a rematch of the pair's bloody clash in April on November 16 at BKFC 9.

The former UFC fighters thrilled fans in their bare knuckle boxing debuts back in April in a bloody five round war.

Lobov picked up the win before going on to face bitter rival Paulie Malignaggi over the summer, where he also outpointed the former champion boxer.

But the pair will come to blows once again next month in Mississippi as 33-year-old Lobov bids to extend his unbeaten record since making the switch to the sport.
