BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing took over the sold-out Novo at LA Live in Los Angeles last Sat. night (July 18, 2026) for an evening of ungloved action inside the promotion’s patented Trigon, featuring a trio of former boxing champions scattered across the VICE TV and talkSPORT fight card. Topping the “City of Angels” lineup was former WBC Welterweight Champion Victor Ortiz. “Vicious” needed all five rounds to deal with fellow pugilist Dominic Salcido, no stranger to the “sweet science,” but ultimately swept the judges’ scorecards to bring him a dominant decision win.
