Danny Christie's latest bare-knuckle opponent believes he can end the Cumbrian's winning run tonight.

American fighter Jared Warren stands between Christie and a fourth straight victory in the BKFC scene.

The two men go head to head at BKFC 55 Leeds as British light-heavyweight champion Christie, from Currock, steps into the spotlight again.

The Carlisle favourite said he is ready to win a "war" with his Florida-based opponent.

But Warren is also talking up his own chances ahead of the Planet Ice showdown.

"By no means do I think it will be an easy fight - I wouldn't have accepted it if I did," said experienced MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Warren, speaking via Bare Knuckle News TV.

"It's going to be a banger, a lot of punches going back and forth.

"Going into enemy territory always comes with its own fun but I'm looking forward to it.

"I've never been to the UK, I know it's not easy for them to ship fighters back and forth overseas. But I'm happy I got the opportunity.

"I know he is three-and-0, but I like being the one to go in and give people their first L."

Christie has impressed on the BKFC scene since his debut in August 2022.

He has seen off Terry Brazier, Darren Godfrey and Anthony Holmes, with his victory over Holmes in Leeds in April earning him the British title belt.

The Carlisle fighter is hoping victory over Warren will further his hopes of having a shot at the world title against current global champion Lorenzo Hunt.

While Christie has three wins from three in BKFC, Warren has five wins and two defeats on the American BKFC circuit.

Their fellow bare-knuckle fighters have given their predictions for tonight's contest, meanwhile.

American cruiserweight Bruce Abramski reckons the "tough, focused and determined" Christie will come out top against the "skilled, precise and technical" Warren.

James Brown also predicts a Christie victory but fellow Americans Zach Calmus, Howard Davis, Ja'Far Fott, Blake LaCaze and Michael Larrimore told the BKFC website they expect Warren to win.
