“King” Kai Stewart is locked in for the biggest fight of his life.
The 24-year-old Great Falls, MT product will defend his BKFC World Featherweight Championship for the fourth time against undefeated South African Tommy Strydom on the second night of BKFC’s historic, two-event premiere in Dubai on April 4-5, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.
Stewart is widely regarded as BKFC’s hottest homegrown superstar. In just a few short years he’s evolved from a fresh-faced rookie to an undeniable face of the franchise for the world’s fastest growing combat sports promotion. Game-changing accolades and exciting opportunities outside of the Squared Circle have been attracted to Stewart, but he’s driven by his appreciation and love for bare knuckle fighting, not the glitz and glamor.
“All I feel is gratitude and excitement for what I get to do,” Stewart says. “If I wasn’t having fun, I wouldn’t be doing this. It’s crazy, but it’s fun.”
Some fighters become complacent when they reach the top of the food chain. That couldn’t be further from the truth for Stewart. He’s thrilled by what the past few years have held, and he knows his future is in his battle-tested knuckles.
“I’ve always said that we’re taking this baby to the moon, but we’ve already accomplished that. Let’s take BKFC to the next galaxy,” he says with a big smile.
“This rocket is never going to stop. Whether I’m acting in movies or winning 13, 14, 15 World Titles in a row, it doesn’t matter. I’m a grinder, and I’m always working hard to get to that next station in life. I just want to keep having fun and seeing how great I can be.”
