Here are the key details for BKFC 94:
Event: BKFC 94 Till vs. Romero
Date: Saturday, September 26, 2026
Location: AO Arena, Manchester, England
Start time: 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT / 7 p.m. BST / 11.30 p.m. IST

Main event: Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero
Co-main event: David Mundell vs. Jack Cullen for the BKFC World Middleweight Championship
Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero
On one corner is Till, who enters the competition with a perfect 1-0 BKFC record after knocking out Aaron Chalmers in the second round of their May 30 meeting at BKFC 90 in Birmingham.
The former UFC welterweight title challenger faced Tyron Woodley for the championship in 2018, then moved to middleweight before leaving the promotion in 2023. He has since secured three professional boxing victories while continuing his combat sports career outside the UFC.
Romero, on the other hand, brings experience into his second BKFC appearance after defeating Theo Doukas in September 2025. The Olympian, during his glory days, challenged for the UFC middleweight championship during his MMA career. He also competed under Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA rules earlier this year, knocking out Alex Nicholson in May.
That said, although both fighters spent time in the UFC’s middleweight division, they never faced each other inside the Octagon. Their upcoming match will finally bring them together under bare-knuckle boxing rules, with the promotion listing the matchup at cruiserweight despite reports of a contracted catchweight of 190 pounds.
The two fighters have already generated considerable attention through their promotional appearances. During an August press conference, they engaged in an extended staredown before security intervened. BKFC founder and president David Feldman has promoted the matchup as a major event for the organization, while Romero warned Till about the challenge awaiting him inside the ring.
BKFC 94 full fight card and how to watch
BKFC 94 will feature a trio of championship bouts beneath the Till-Romero headliner, with reigning BKFC World Middleweight Champion David “The Redneck” Mundell defending his title against Jack “The Meat Cleaver” Cullen in the co-main event.
Mundell enters the matchup with a 10-2 bare-knuckle record, while Cullen has won both his appearances in the promotion. The challenger previously bagged the British and Commonwealth super-middleweight boxing titles in 2023 before transitioning to bare-knuckle competition.
The second championship match will feature Gaz “The Crusher” Corran against Macauley “Mac” Bygraves for the vacant BKFC UK Middleweight Championship. Both competitors will attempt to preserve their unbeaten promotional records while securing the divisional title.
Karl “The Wasp” Thompson will also put his BKFC UK Cruiserweight Championship on the line against Andy Thornton. Thompson has recorded four wins in five promotional appearances, while his opponent will seek another victory as he attempts to capture his first BKFC title.
The remaining main-card matchups will feature:
Joe Lister vs. Harry Bray at middleweight
Mikey Henderson vs. Matthew Wiwczaryk at welterweight
Stew Martin vs. Joshy Williams at featherweight
Luke Vaughan will meet Bartlomiej Krol in another welterweight battle, while Ste Wallwork and Leigh Cohoon will compete in the middleweight division.
The promotion has also scheduled three additional fights for the prelims, with Benjamin Lowe facing Dan McGraffin at middleweight, Tyrone Hamer meeting Liam Dooley at welterweight, and Luke Bassnett taking on Darren Willans in another welterweight bout.
How can fans watch BKFC 94 Manchester Till vs Romero?
