   ​Bare Knuckle Boxing has made another splash signing to its
ever-growing roster, with a former
Ultimate Fighting Championship and
Professional Fighters League women’s contender joining the
promotion.
BKB announced Tuesday that Aspen Ladd,
who most recently competed in BKFC last November and earned a
first-round victory, has signed with the promotion and will make
her debut Aug. 29 in Miami.
Ladd’s experience across several of combat sports’ top promotions
also includes bouts against high-level opponents such as Kayla
Harrison, Germaine
de Randamie and Raquel
Pennington. In 17 professional fights, Ladd has compiled a 12-5
record and will look to add another victory at BKB 58 when she
faces Bianca
Daimoni in the final event of the “Summer of BKB” series.
Daimoni is a BKB veteran, having made her debut at BYB 36 in early
2025 with a split-decision victory over Ashley Brace. However, she
dropped her most recent appearance, losing a unanimous decision to
Jamie
Driver at BKB 50.
The addition of Ladd continues the growth of BKB’s roster, which
features more than 200 fighters from 30 countries. In a statement
released by BKB, Ladd said the promotion “gives me the chance to
compete with everything on the line, no gloves, no hiding, and I’m
ready to show everyone what I can do.”
BKB 58 will take place at the James L. Knight Center in Miami. The
event is headlined by BKB heavyweight champion Gustavo
Trujillo, who will defend his title against Mark
O’Neil. It will also feature the promotional debut of Olympic
gold medalist Yuriorkis Gamboa, who faces Yesner Talavera.MIAMI GET READY ‼️
