BKB 60 Newcastle is set for October 10, 2026, at the Utilita Arena in England, featuring a stacked bare-knuckle boxing card. British legend Mick Terrill headlines against Kamil Sokolowski, returning to his hometown arena where he previously won a BKFC title. The co-main event sees Rolando Dy defend his BKB Super Welterweight title against Scott McHugh. Former IBF super featherweight boxing champion JoJo Diaz will make his second BKB appearance, following a first-round knockout debut, with his opponent yet to be announced. This event marks a significant night for BKB, showcasing top talent and crossover fighters like Diaz and Jon Telfer, promising an action-packed evening for passionate Newcastle fans.

Former IBF super featherweight champion JoJo Diaz is stepping back into the BKB Trigon on Oct. 10 at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England. Let's talk bare knuckle boxing.

Terrill's move is part of a pattern. He won the inaugural BKFC UK heavyweight title in this same building in March, and Jon Telfer signed with BKB for the same Newcastle card after his own BKFC run. Both crossed over from the rival promotion.

Diaz's July debut ended with a body shot rather than a head shot. His BKB 60 opponent has not been named, and the rest of the card has not been announced.

The event will be headlined by British bare knuckle legend and former BKFC heavyweight champion, Mick Terrill. He'll face top contender, Kamil Sokolowski. In the co-main event, BKB Super Welterweight World Champion Rolando "Dy Incredible" Dy defends his title against Scott "The Mute" McHugh.

Diaz's opponent is unknown at the moment, but the former champion made quick work of Nate Williams as he scored a first-round knockout victory in his promotional debut.

"There's nothing like fighting in front of my own people," said Terrill. "Newcastle has seen me become a world champion once, in this very arena, and now I get to push closer to my world title shot once again wearing BKB colors. Kamil's tough and durable, but I'm going to give this crowd a knockout they'll be talking about for years. Once I knock him out, I want my shot at Gustavo for the title."

"Newcastle has always been one of the most passionate fight cities in the country, and BKB 60 is exactly the kind of card this crowd deserves," said David Tetreault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing. "Mick Terrill headlining at home against a live threat like Kamil Sokolowski, and Rolando Dy defending his title against Scott McHugh, gives fans two must-see fights on the same night. This is a huge night for BKB and for bare knuckle boxing in the North East."
