Big Dawg fans in Bakersfield

Serving Bakersfield from Fresno

Big Dawg is the only professional bare-knuckle boxing promotion on the West Coast, and we run everything out of one building: 7274 N Blackstone Ave, Fresno, CA 93650. We do not operate a gym or venue in Bakersfield, fighters, fans and partners from Bakersfield work with us at our Fresno headquarters by appointment.

Every promotion has one town whose crowd is a participant. For Big Dawg that is Bakersfield. When Kern County fans fill a section, a Fresno fighter hears about it all night.

Kern County has a deep heavyweight scene, and our matchmakers pay attention to it. Fighters from Bakersfield who join our camps train in Fresno on a compressed schedule, two long days a week rather than four short ones, so a 110-mile drive stays sustainable.

We do not have a location or an event in Bakersfield. Fresno is our only address, and Kern County fans make the run up 99 for the cards we announce.
