Blackpool LAD Bareknuckle Heavyweight Richie Leak

You might not have heard about another world Champion heavyweight from the northwest – that isn’t Tyson Fury…

Blackpool has it’s own Bare Knuckle Boxing Bombshell – known as the Viking for his long beard and warrior like appearance – Richie Leak can often be seen around town just getting on with his daily routine.

This mountain of a man towers above most at 6′ 3″ and can present quite a challenge for bareknuckle opponents in the ring.

This fight from back in January against Daniel “Rampage” Robson barely lasted a round before Richie had put down his opponent but not before suffering a cut to the head himself. One of the hazards of fighting with bare knuckles.
