Hasim Rahman's Son Signs Multi-Fight Bare Knuckle Deal

Sharif Rahman (9-0), son of two-time heavyweight world champion Hasim Rahman, has signed a multi-fight deal with BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing.

The 30-year-old middleweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">super middleweight from Baltimore has been unbeaten since turning professional in 2015, opening his career with a first-round knockout. He joins a list of former gloved boxers who have crossed over to BKB, including Victor Ortiz, Lee Selby and Josh Warrington:

"I've carried this family name my whole career and I've never lost," Rahman said. "Bare knuckle is a new test — no gloves, no excuses, just pure skill and heart. I'm bringing my undefeated record to BKB to prove I belong among the best."

He joins a growing list of former gloved boxers who have made the crossover to BKB, including Victor Ortiz, Lee Selby and Josh Warrington. The organisation has established itself as a credible destination for fighters looking for a fresh challenge, and Rahman's arrival adds another recognisable name to its roster.

Whether the transition from super middleweight boxing to bare knuckle suits his style remains to be seen. What is not in question is the motivation. Nine fights unbeaten, a legendary name to honour, and a new arena to conquer.
