Women's Bareknuckle Boxing Club (WBBC)

The WBBC is a modern-day (underground) Women’s Bareknuckle Boxing Club in London, where the fights use old-style bareknuckle rules. Fighters box until one is knocked down, when they have 10 seconds to get up and “come up to scratch” (scratch is a line in the middle of the ring). If the fighter doesn’t “come up to scratch” in 10 seconds, they have lost. Although the bareknuckle rules were boxing rules the fighters only see them as "guidelines" and can use headbutts, kicking, biting, throws, wrestling etc. to get an advantage and win a fight. The matches are fought use DICE RULES (see below for more on the rules) and there are 3 titles/weight divisions. The crowds watching the matches are raucous, cheering, booing, shouting advice, and insults, to the fighters and the referee.
