Hasim Rahman’s undefeated son Sharif signs multi-fight BKB deal

Bare Knuckle Boxing has added another second-generation boxer to its growing roster.

The promotion recently announced that Sharif Rahman has signed a multi-fight agreement, bringing the undefeated prospect into the bare-knuckle ranks while still in his prime.

Sharif Rahman joins BKB after building an undefeated 9-0 boxing record
Rahman, 30, is the son of former two-time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman and the brother of professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr. His father famously stopped Lennox Lewis in 2001 to capture the heavyweight championship.

Known as “C3,” Rahman has compiled an unblemished 9-0 professional boxing record with four knockouts. The Baltimore native, who now resides in Las Vegas, will attempt to carry that unbeaten record into bare-knuckle competition.

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

Rahman follows several established boxers who have recently made the move to BKB, including Victor Ortiz, JoJo Diaz, Alfredo Angulo and Lee Selby.

His promotional debut and opponent will be announced at a later date.
