Zach Calmus is ready for the spotlight at KnuckleMania V.

The red-hot Gloucester, MA heavyweight is gearing up to secure his fifth straight stoppage victory against Pat Brady in heavyweight action at the must-see KnuckleMania showcase event on Jan. 25 at Wells Fargo Center in BKFC’s hugely anticipated Philadelphia debut, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.

Every fight is crucial to a combatant’s career, but this one is admittedly a little more special for the 33-year-old Calmus.

“This event is the culmination of all the work I’ve put in over the years. This is my eighth fight with BKFC, and it’s all led to this point — KnuckleMania V. Hard work and dedication has brought me here,” Calmus says.

“This event is the pinnacle of BKFC’s success,” he adds. “I’m honored and privileged to be on this card, and I’m eager to take advantage of the opportunity.” 

Calmus has only been to Philadelphia once, and he only stayed long enough to grab a quick bite at The Cheesecake Factory. He’s eagerly counting down the days until fight night in “The City of Brotherly Love,” where "Shark Attack" is keen on taking a bite out of the hometown favorite Brady.

“This is a great matchup for the fans, and the Boston-versus-Philadelphia rivalry has a long tradition across all professional sports. We’re going to add to that legacy at KnuckleMania. Pat and I are going to give Philadelphia something to remember," Calmus says.

“It’s going to be a spectacle.”
