5th INTERNATIONAL BAREFIST BOXING GALA

5th International Bare-Knuckle Boxing Gala – Brutal Elegance in the Heart of Szentendre

Szentendre is once again becoming the European hub of combat sports! On April 11, 2026,  Ferences Sports Hall (Dám Károly Arena) will host one of the most anticipated events of the year, the 5th International Bare Knuckle Boxing Gala (Bare Knuckle Gala). What makes Bare Knuckle Boxing special? Bare-knuckle boxing is the purest, most ancient form of combat sports. There is no room for tactics here: competitors enter the ring without gloves, wearing only minimal protective gear. This discipline requires not only physical strength, but also incredible mental discipline and technical precision. Event details
