Bridging the world of heavy music and bare-knuckle boxing, industry giants Danny Wimmer Presents, in partnership with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship have announced the inaugural Blood4Blood. Set to precede the festivities at Welcome to Rockville at Daytona Speedway, Blood4Blood will take place May 6th at Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL.
Working closely with Alex Terrible and Slaughter to Prevail, the vision for Blood4Blood is a careful curation of heavy culture - merging the world of pugilism and a broad spectrum of metal music as the appropriate soundtrack.
Touting four BKFC bouts and performances from Slaughter to Prevail, Black Label Society, Crowbar and Malevolence, Blood4Blood will also feature Alex Terrible taking on double duty - making his BKFC debut in a headlining fight opposite the American Cowboy, Cameron Delano.
“It is a big honour for me to finally bring Blood4Blood to life,” said Alex Terrible of Slaughter to Prevail. “From the beginning I wanted to create something that shows who I really am. Fighting and heavy music have always been my world, my passion, my lifestyle. To have the first Blood4Blood hosted by the biggest bare-knuckle promotion in the world and to work with the biggest live promoter in North America to build this event with me means a lot. We have four real fights and four powerful bands, Black Label Society, Crowbar, Malevolence and Slaughter to Prevail. I will step into the ring and on the stage. I give everything. This is my heart. This is Blood4Blood.”
“I’ve been deeply passionate about martial arts, training in jiu-jitsu and MMA for years, so when Alex and 5B brought me this concept, it immediately resonated,” said Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents. “They laid out a vision that felt bold and authentic, and I’m proud we’re now partnering with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, who bring tremendous value and energy to this one-of-a-kind event. Alongside Alex Terrible of Slaughter To Prevail, we’re building something truly groundbreaking: four fights and four bands on the Wednesday before Welcome To Rockville. Stepping into fight promotion is new territory for me, and blending rock’s energy with the raw thrill of bare knuckle action feels like a natural evolution. I’m grateful Alex and his team trusted me with the vision, and I can’t wait to step into this new arena…literally.”
“We’re thrilled to partner with Danny Wimmer Presents and Alex Terrible to present Blood4Blood,” said David Feldman, Founder and President of BKFC. “They both share our vision for BKFC and this will be a groundbreaking event for bare-knuckle and hard rock music fans heading into the Welcome To Rockville festival.”
