Think Snatch, Charles Bronson.
It’s probably the grittiest form of fighting. It’s also probably the oldest combat sport of them all, which is why it seems somewhat odd that bare-knuckle fighting – something that dates back centuries – is regarded as something that happens only in a movie like Fight Club, and not up there in the same main stream category as wrestling and boxing.
VICE.com have recently documented a film about the bare-knuckle fighting sub-culture.
Big-time boxers have title belts, “Sports Personality of the Year” awards, TV dance-show appearances, and tabloid coke busts, but the murky, mythical, quasi-legal world of bare knuckle seems to hold a more illicit intrigue. And that’s why we wanted to make a film about it.
Check out the more about the bare-knuckle sub-culture and fighters on Vice.
