Connor Tierney vs. Danny Christie
Fight fans are truly in for a treat with this BKFC 77 welterweight championship main event. Former champion Connor Tierney makes his long-awaited return to the ring. He fights for the first time since August. Tierney will have his hands full with fellow countrymen Danny Christie—the seven fight BKFC veteran and former champion.
Tierney, 30, looks to build a win streak following his unanimous decision championship victory over Jonny Graham back in August. Growing up in Weoley Castle, United Kingdom—Tierney was surrounded by violence in his youth. He began his fighting career back in January 2019 and has gradually progressed through the BKFC talent pool. Holding three knockouts on his impressive resume, Tierney is now a four fight BKFC veteran. He’ll attempt to shake off the ring rust as he dives straight into a tough main event billing against Christie.
His opponent, 40-year-old Danny Christie comes into this welterweight championship opportunity with nothing to lose and everything to gain. Growing up fighting in underground promotions and through the amateurs—he displays a true warrior spirit every time he throws down. Christie entered his first boxing gym at the age of 11. He has fallen in love with the rugged lifestyle ever since. He made his promotional debut at BKFC 27 back in August 2022. Since then, he has competed seven times for the company. Holding four stoppage victories—Christie brings an exciting forward-pressing approach to the bare-knuckle ring. Christie is currently dealing with a tough second-round knockout loss to David Mundell in October. However, he has a chance to turn things around. This opportunity comes with a shot at the welterweight title.
