(Exclusive) BKFC Boss Reveals Why Bryce Hall vs. Kimbo Slice Jr. Got Postponed

Having booked his bareknuckle boxing debut in December, the son of the legendary street fighter Kimbo Slice was set to share the Squared Circle with Hall on Jan. 25 in Philadelphia, but Slice would withdraw earlier this week to due to unknown reasons.

BKFC Boss Feldman Speaks On Hall vs. Slice Jr.

On Friday, Feldman cleared up Slice's situation in an interview with MMA Knockout.

"Something happened with Kimbo Slice," Feldman said. "He actually just got outta the police academy and just started to become a cop, and his schedule wasn't allowing for him to really dedicate the way he needed to dedicate for this fight. So, it's not canceled, it's postponed."

Along with being a police officer, Kevin Ferguson Jr. is a 3-3 former Bellator MMA fighter and a one-time boxer with Misfits.

His opponent Bryce Hall doesn't have many fights under his belt. He lost his influencer boxing debut to Austin McBroom in 2021 and later won his BKFC debut in 2023 - a TKO stoppage of Gee Perez through two rounds.

BKFC Knuckle Mania 5 will continue on Jan. 25 with a stacked tripleheader. Former UFC stars collide in the main event, with former world champ Eddie Alvarez making his return against Jeremy Stephens.

Also on the card is a heavyweight title fight between Mick Terrill and Ben Rothwell, plus Bec Rawlings vs. Taylor Starling.
