Following BKFC 90 on May 30 in Birmingham, David Feldman, the President of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, expressed his disappointment regarding the limited distribution of knockout bonuses. Despite the event featuring exciting moments, including Darren Till's victory over Aaron Chalmers and Rico Franco's crowning as interim welterweight champion, Feldman felt that the overall action did not meet the promotion's high standards. He had hoped to award twelve knockout bonuses but could only offer three or four, a sentiment he shared during the post-fight press conference. Feldman noted that while the attendance was strong at 7,492, he was aggravated by the slow start of some fights. He awarded the Knockout of the Night to Franco and Fight of the Night to George Thorpe and Leigh Cohoon. Looking ahead, Feldman teased that their upcoming event in Manchester could be one of the biggest in BKFC history.
