BKFC debut
Davis made his promotional debut at BKFC 26 in June and scored a technical first-round knockout. That result gave him a strong first impression inside the promotion. Davis has also built a 9-0 professional boxing record, and five of those wins came by knockout. That background helps explain why he brings a finishing mindset into bare-knuckle competition. His boxing record gives him a base, while his BKFC debut showed he can produce a stoppage in the format. For Davis, the win in June was more than a statistic.

The first-round finish in his debut also gives him a result to build on. If he can produce another clean performance, he supports his goal of making progress in his bare-knuckle career and earning more attention inside the promotion.
Mike Perry
Davis is also looking beyond Dunkle. He said a victory could move him closer to a fight with middleweight standout Mike Perry, and he also wants to challenge Perry for popularity in the division. That gives Saturday’s fight a second layer of importance. Davis is trying to make a case for the opportunity he wants next. Perry is the target Davis has in mind, and he has made clear that he sees this fight as part of a larger push toward that opportunity. The message from Davis is simple. He believes he is healthy, sharp and expecting another stoppage win. The fight with Dunkle gives him the chance to pursue the kind of matchup he has in mind with Perry.
