In the promotion's first major event since June, BKFC 63 will be headlined by women's strawweight champion Britain Hart defending her title against former flyweight title challenger Taylor Starling. As two of the biggest female bare-knuckle stars, Hart and Starling have long been on each other's radars and have developed a small rivalry on social media.
The event will mark the promotion's inaugural show in Sturgis, South Dakota on Aug. 3 and will stream live on the BKFC app through BKFC+. Hart and Starling will be the lone championship fight of the night and the final of 10 fights on the card.

The 34-year-old transitioned to bare-knuckle in 2020 after realizing minimal success in MMA and gained notoriety in her second fight with a decision win over Paige VanZant.
