Slaveski (6-0) is a former boxer with an 8-2 record. Born in Macedonia, “Gogo” last competed in a bare-knuckle ring in 2023 and has four wins via knockout. He was stripped of the BKFC welterweight title after accepting a fight without permission from BKFC.
Building his way back up, a win could result in a shot at a title he never lost.
Lane (8-9) is a former Ultimate Fighter participant. He had eight submission wins in MMA and has competed in bare-knuckle action since 2017. The 38-year-old is on a four-fight win streak following a five-fight skid.
Lane is ready to continue his resurgence with a win against Slaveski.
“I’m a lot better mentally and I’m a lot better physically since my first fight with Mike Perry (in 2022),” Lane said via BKFC. “I’ve been very dedicated to the sport and very consistent in my training. I’m ready for anything BKFC has for me.”
