:03:06. > :03:17.promoters that can't get the O2. We have this dirty secret,

:03:18. > :03:19.we're fighting at the O2. Of course, all boxing started bear

:03:20. > :03:22.knuckle but after gloves were introduced in the 1890s, it spent

:03:23. > :03:25.a long time in the wilderness. For decades, barenuckle boxing has

:03:26. > :03:27.enjoyed a rather dark reputation. I don't think anyone

:04:03. > :04:13.checks, and it's... Approved by the government.

:04:14. > :04:19.This is a tough, dangerous sport. There are many people who want the

:04:20. > :04:25.sport banned. I'm surprised that is venue sup as the O2 want bareknuckle

:04:26. > :04:30.boxing but that's up to them. We can't stop them.
