Bare-knuckle boxing at O2 'will be as popular as MMA'

Bare-knuckle boxing bouts will be held at the O2 Arena in London at the weekend.

Boxer Stanlee 'Big Country' Wilson, from Slough in Berkshire, has claimed the sport will eventually be as big as mixed martial arts.

But British boxing's governing body says it is not interested in any form of ungloved fighting.
