Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is heading Down Under this summer.

The promotion on Tuesday revealed via social media that it will hold an event in Perth, Australia, on July 19. No bouts were announced for the card, which will take place at RAC Arena. The event will be entitled BKFC 79.

Since its inception in 2018, BKFC has gradually expanded its reach beyond the United States, holding events in locations such as Mexico, Thailand, England, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy and the United Arab Emirates.

Perth is no stranger to high-profile combat sports events. Last August, UFC 305 saw Dricus Du Plessis retain his middleweight crown with a fourth-round submission of Israel Adesanya in the Western Australia capital.

BKFC’s next event is slated for June 6 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and is headlined by a middleweight championship clash between David Mundell and Donald Sanchez.
