The highly anticipated bout between social media star Bryce Hall and Kevin Ferguson Jr., better known as "Baby Slice," will no longer headline BKFC Knucklemania 5. The shocking news, confirmed by BKFC officials, leaves fans wondering about the future of this intriguing matchup.
Ferguson, son of the legendary Kimbo Slice, was set to make his bare-knuckle debut in Philadelphia on January 25. The MMA fighter turned-boxer has already showcased his fighting spirit in seven Bellator MMA bouts before stepping into the boxing ring. His last performance, in April 2023 under Misfits Boxing, ended in a loss to Okemka Jibunor. This match was Ferguson’s introduction to the brutal world of bare-knuckle fighting—a significant moment in his combat sports journey.
On the other side of the canceled bout stood Bryce Hall, the YouTube and TikTok sensation turned fighter. The 25-year-old’s BKFC debut in 2023 saw him take down Gee Perez via injury TKO, proving he’s more than just a digital influencer. Hall first entered combat sports with an exhibition boxing match against Austin McBroom in 2021, signaling his serious intentions in the fighting world.
While this matchup is off the card, BKFC Knucklemania 5 remains packed with thrilling fights. Eddie Alvarez faces Jeremy Stephens in a clash of veterans, and Mick Terrill will defend his heavyweight title against the formidable Ben Rothwell.
Though it’s unclear if Hall vs. Baby Slice will be rescheduled, fans can rest assured that BKFC will deliver high-octane action. As the promotion blends combat sports and entertainment, the postponed fight only adds to the suspense of what’s to come.
