Once regarded as something that happens exclusively in Guy Ritchie films and on gypsy sites, bare knuckle boxing is fast becoming a thriving scene in the UK -- the ultimate British bloodsport.
When Clive Martin embeds with the bare knuckle boxing elite, what he discovers is not dissimilar to Fight Club; IT technicians, builders, lifestyle coaches and even a solicitor, all throwing their unprotected fists into each other's faces. It's a subculture of honour, pride and violence.
As the UK prepares to play host to the first US vs UK bare knuckle title fight in 150 years -- the biggest event the scene has known since it went underground in the 19th Century -- Clive tries to find out if violence is a cause or effect for these angry young men.

When your mixed Irish/Geordie accent is so strong that even in an English documentary you need subtitles...
T90ADAMS punch drunk
Fuck sake 😂
Lol I was so confused whether he was Irish or Geordie.
He got a geordie accent. It doesn’t even sound Irish
Sean Wiseman dude it is, watch the whole thing and listen carefully. Here and there his irish accent will come out.
Just me that loves how this British lad from Newcastle with his beer belly absolutely ruined this bloke who was treating it like the most important fight in history 😂
no, he's an absolute lad.
I’m pretty sure he’s irish
@@cowboy4488 no he's from Newcastle but his family are irish
Luke Hanson hahaha fuck yhea
Lives in newcastle. Irish blood. Not english.
“Rammed their unprotected fists into one another’s bodies to prove who was hardest”
Helluva way with words VICE
Dude got fisted. Lol
That basically sounds like an IMDB description/summary of a porn. The porn titles could be called something like Rock-Me Balboa (instead of Rocky Balboa), Skeet Fighter (instead of Street Fighter), Mortal Cumback (instead of Mortal Kombat), Breed for This (instead of Bleed for This), All-in-me (instead of Ali). Does anyone else have other titles you can come up with regarding fighting movies that would work here?
"Of them all!" Lol
You need to quit p
@@SoCaliSurfer13how has RUclips not struck your comment down 😂
Bare knuckle boxing in Britain has existed since forever. My great grandfather used to do this back in the 1890s in regular pubs. I have lots of family members who talk of their fathers and grandads who talk of this.
Queensberry rules only

0:24 "For hundreds of years British men men have rammed their unprotected fists into each other bodies to decide who was the hardest of them all" Seriously?
Sounds like it belongs in fucking pornhub XD
Ha ha when you say it that way XD
This dumb shit was just practised by the thick irish twats. The British have too much brains for this shit
Paul Smith listen up ye little gobshite bare knuckle boxing have been around since the greek Olympics. Get in to a bare knuckle fight and we see what will happen to ye.
+Tellyman (MrCarlito) I like to take you up on that offer champ...Fancy fighting an Aussie?
That James Lambert, what a legend. I would love to see more of this guy, I hope he is doing well almost 8 years later.
Fr
he's got a youtube channel, seem pretty active as well : www.youtube.com/@MasculinityMentor7
This wasn't what I expected. It's much more complicated than we like to think. It's about people on a journey trying to deal with demons in their heads and choosing to channel their fear and anger off the streets so that they're no longer harming innocent people. They're all real people and you can empathise with them. I don't think it's a sport but I understand why people do it. I was once into competing in kickboxing and probably did it for same reasons as them. Trying to rationalise irrational impulses. That James guy was a proper legend though 😁
When I was a kid, I thought England was like "excuse me, sir",
but then I realized it's all "u wot m8".
this is funny af, spot on man 👏

Euphoric Atheist I agree about how culture has gone down the toilet
bunch of pussys they still lost against russian holligans at the Football championship
Michael Zoelisch That’s because all the top lads have to hand their passports into the police, fucking peasant
Anyone else find it hilarious that Gypsy Boy just hangs out with his friends, drinking Guinness, showed up late, and drunk, and still won the fight? Meanwhile the American fighter trained in wing chun and meditated for weeks, getting massages, only to get knocked out.
Tis the british spirit!
+Flapjab van Helsing *Irish
+BatmanBinSuparman That's because any real American fighter (or British or Irish) wouldn't fight in a shit bar like that for nothing. The good fighters are fighting in the UFC or rolling other MMA matches. This has nothing to do with which country has better fighters, these are just guys who never made it in boxing and who aren't in good enough shape to fight MMA. Nothing against them, its some tough shit to get in a ring with no gloves, these guys can take a punch, but its not indicative of who has better fighters.
.
+Thomas Fox it is. who wins is better same in mma rofl mma fighters are 99% scums
Mr.Happy is a great example of the power of self reflection and introspection.
Dude he had so much heart. The end of the fight felt like a Snatch fight. Even the punches sounded like they added sound effects.
One day some poor bastard is going to randomly pick a fight with Mr Happy and end up in a coma.
SEE YAI AYE mr happy surely turned to mr angry in that moment
hahaha was thinking the same thing
SEE YAI AYE sad but true !
he's a big guy
For you.
Much respect for mr happy , what a lovely fella , takes a real man to admit that he felt scared his motivation for fighting , the inner struggles are the hardest to overcome .👍🏻
i watch mma-and most fighters are scared before a fight.
mr happy is a bad person , and inteligent ~
Mike Tyson says he used to cry before every fight
He seems sound
🎉😢😢
When I watch videos like this I'm always left with the impression that the fighter is a complete bell-end but that Geordie guy seemed like a really nice down to earth guy... To be honest, he shocked me in the fight as he didn't look particularly hard in everyday life but in that make-shift ring he was an absolute beast!
I follow MMA and dabble in training. Specifically Muay Thai and BJJ. The coolest and most humble people you can meet are combat athletes in person. Training and obviously fighting humble you.
I know him. He’s a lovely lad. Chin made of granite! He was just fighting for money ti try see his kids bless him
Would love to just sit down with Mr Happy and just have a conversation.
Seems like a really pleasant lad, props to him for using his hindsight and own perspective and experiences to make a new future for the best of himself and others.
Real respect
hes dead
that fight was sick. Didn't expect the guy to make a comeback
it was probably an even fight, clever editing just made it look like a comeback
@@ha-naan Irish and every one in the world started boxing bearnucal 🥴
He took the American out of his element by showing up late
Thanks so much for ruining it
@@___ykc boohoo stfu
Can we just appreciate how good of an interviewer the reporter is? At 18:40 he comes up with an exceptional question, that was deliver so smoothly that it seemed just like a natural progression of the conversation, but it really made the guy open up right there, right then. Raw emotional response. Simply brilliant.
Clive Martin. Check out his old “Big Night Out” articles. Very different vibe (funny).
It was like it was the guy's first time thinkin of it
Editing and music helped lol
Just found this great documentary, well presented and fantastic content, thanks to all who took part and what a great bunch of fighters. So well done.
Quite literally, one of the most amazing things I’ve ever watched. Towards the end I thought, can I bear to watch what I think is going to happen. No, the plucky Geordie lad won. Mind bendingly brilliant 😀
Turns up late in a taxi half asleep and full of guinness and floors a younger guy who's been training for months overseas...
FingerPickinGood _ when your a fighter you don't give a shit but only finish the job
As an American this made me irrationally angry. Why'd they pick some random kid from Utah. Should have gotten some of the boys out of Brooklyn or Boston. Or some of the Mayans out of LA. Mexicans can box. Boooo, fixed! (lol, jk)
lol utah
Yep, shows the caliber of guys who show up for this. Any MMA fighter or even a kickboxer would wipe the floor with them
thats the irish for you
I'm American, and I'm actual happy the Irish fighter won. He was a much nicer guy, and deserved the win. The American came over, and acted like he was hot shit but he found out he wasn't.
Listen to his accent.. He's from Newcastle with Irish heritage
gambino he's American. We don't differentiate UK accents. Just like Uk's can't tell ours apart
Zach BH The general rule of thumb with British accents is that the further north you go the harder they are to understand.
hahahha you may be right.
:D
Great story. Even though I'm from SLC, it's great to see James win that fight. James seems so humble and good hearted. Awesome fight!
here after the trash taste episode :)
Is that "The UK's Scariest Debt Collector" reffing the match?
Yeah it is ha...
Yea
thought it was the bake off guy
Wow
One of the fighter at 22:09 is from vice other documentary uk young offenders. And the ref as well is from the other documentary. Does everyone in the uk know each other or what l
I find Mr. Happy scarier as a happy person.

46 years old? FFS that guy looked 70!!!
a think his had the youth beaten out of him with the amount of fights his had mate.

We're a bunch of fucking weirdos mate, lol.
I thinks we should bring back london prize ring rules and fight on barges out on the hudson like god intended. Im from Massachusetts and theirs a spot in eastern ny that was once part of Massachusetts that a prizefight was held and because of that one fight it was gifted to ny state because the Massachusetts state police couldn’t patrol that one spot.

Great video. Thanks you. Well done for the fighters.
My first trip to Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, some local came up to me and asked, "you want to fight, mate?" That was my second day in the UK and I realized England was awesome.
Mccrory, the UK fighter, was pretty smart to arrive late, drunk, and from a football game because it made the American feel even more certain than he already was that he would win and so he expired all of his energy early on with lots of punches while Mccrory just guarded his head with his hands. Then in what I think was the second round Mcrory could take him down pretty easily seen as he was exhausted from all of those punches
Read "The Book of Five Rings"
The better fighter is not always the better fighter.
@@dyingsun7857 Yeah, he gave him the Musashi treatment.
Is that what they call a rope a dope? Letting the other tire himself out?
I love how the american bare knuckle boxer had a Wing Chun bruce lee esque coach by his side.
While I wanted my country man to win, u won it fair and square. Love and respect for the UK.
1775 THIS, is what I love to see. Most people just see America as obese pigs. I can respect this.
1775 Cheers mate.
1775 agreed he was the better man this time
im happy he was irish and not British that would of been embarrassing
Ireland is part of of Britain you fart knocker
Some people say bareknuckle is safer than using gloves, due to less overall blows to the head. Similar to American football, where pads and helmets give the player the confidence to tackle much harder due to the protective gear used.
My Good m8 Scott is the great, great, great, great, (or there abouts) grandson of British bare knuckle champion Tom Sayers, who fought America's champion John C Heenan on April 17 1860 in a field near Farnborough in the first ever fight between champions from the UK & the USA..The fight ended in a riot with Heenan being chased by a crowd, he throttled Sayers on the ropes which the fans cut, amazingly the fight continued for 5 more rounds before mayhem struck. I was reading my Pictorial History of Boxing when Scott visited and he told me about it, his eyes popped when I told him it was in the book, no photographs but some nice old school illustrations well drawn. He took the book home to show his family. I had known him for 27 years and it never came up, and Scott is a top bloke. Just a nice little story that is relevant to this video, thanks and all the best to everyone 💯👍
PS, both Fighters were given belts
This is more like it vice, a good documentary.
they tend to bring a few around after they upload all the bullshit
***** Not true, they tend to upload stuff they put on HBO a few days later
You can't really expect them to make a good documentary every week.
Can't please everyone all the time you whiney bitch. Especially when you're a whiney bitch.
Dude.. To anyone defending vice for their fucked vids.. They were airing random couples sexlives.. Who gives a fuck.. If u enjoy that I'm pretty sure ur perverted.. All they did was talk about how they fucked.. Ya ur defs perverted if u liked it
"Mr Happy's" overly-friendly persona scares me more than the angry aggressive people. Unsettling.
Captain Crook IKR it feels really weird and watching him call himself mr happy it just gets a bit too creepy
@@Costy-uy3iu I see what he is trying to do. I used to be mean too and at some point I decided that I am going to be nice. I do think it throws some people off but it's a dedication to spreading goodness in the world instead of suffering.
because deep down he's still tan aggressive monster that can explode at any time
its because you know hes capable of doing terrible things, thats what makes him truly good person
Hey there. Well, that's your perception. In his video (Mr Happy sequence) and during the interview, I felt he was authentic, genuinely friendly. He was also articulate. Nothing to be scared of, on the contrary, he seems trustworthy (wouldn't do no harm unless he's attacked). Had I not watched this vid I would have no clue about what he did. Only one thing would tell me to be cautious : so many tattoos. As to the angry, aggressive people you mentioned, they might "impress" but usually they're not the "street predators" you should be concerned with.
This one was just great thank you for this vice
Gran documental hermano... Saludos desde Argentina!!
Irish guy ate the punches at first, got the muscle head to empty his tank then proceeded to finish him. Irish guy knows how to fight.
Some People love to fight from the child hod the are Not scared of,dead the are scared to los this is to much different
He probably was hella drunk and ain’t feel shit
@Michael Griffiths HES IRISH, HE HAS IRISH SCRIPTURE ALL OVER HIS BODY BRO, DOESNT GET MORE IRISH THEN THAT HAHAHA
@@SeanHollandTV he’s from Newcastle Upon Tyne, born and bread. He lived behind me for about 10 years when I was a kid. He has family in Ireland but he is from Newcastle.
I don't think is his fighting ability, but his brain doesn't react to pain.
I did a deep dive on Jason "The Machine gun" Young and learned that he actually just passed away around May of 2020, though I can't find an obituary or cause. Rest in power, Jason.

Rest In Peace == RIP
@@craigdouglas9838 he’s done it intentionally 😉
rip
Do you have a link to any information about it? I've really tried, but I can't find any myself. Despite his appearance and personality in this documentary it still sucks. He couldn't have been older than like 40, right?
For people saying the main guy is Irish, he’s English. He’s a Geordie (Newcastle) he has some family in Ireland but most people have family in another country, doesn’t mean their from there. If you’re born and raised in England, you’re English. Plus Geordies are some of the most patriotic Englishman in the country.
He’s a Irish traveller it’s likely all of his family is from Ireland and they go back and forth he is definitely not English and some Irish don’t even treat Irish travellers as if they were Irish they are discriminated against a lot
SO Great can't believe i'm watching this in 2022 - what a legend - McCRory -
He looks JUST like mac from its always sunny LOL its killing me.
dude he fucking really dose look like mac lol wtf
I thought it was Mac from the thumbnail. Glad to see I am not the only one that sees the similarity

Awesome documentary. Really enjoyed that
Trash Taste brought me here.
Only god knows how a drunk dude delivered those last 3 knockout punches. A Professional boxer would even be proud of that combo. Damn.
He wasnt drunk, its all mind games
And because he's a hard fucker that can fight it's not rocket science or down to god😂😂😂😂
indeed, what a fucking combo that was. proper boxing move
Drunken Master
Gai Sensei would be proud.
Mr happy scares the shit out of me, like he could go off in the blink of an eye, nice that he's trying to help others though.
Agreed ... a very unsettling gentleman, he is.
remindes me of me mate.
Lloyd Nix Hardman!
what?

Damn, real life snatch here. James either wanted to let him tire out, or cover the spread. The lateness was to psych him out I bet
I keep coming back to this video just to watch the shot at 0:58
It's SO good.

Mike Frank Why this comment doesn't have 100 likes I don't know, but have one from me.
Samiad In The Mist It is the top comment. To proportion of when people have actually watched this video, this comment has received the most attention. Most of the views would have been when it first came out, and this comment was posted 2 months ago. Add to that the fact that not everyone speaks video game, and I cannot for the life of me fathom how you could possibly expect it to have more attention. In fact, you must have posted that comment straight after the OP's comment. You have taken nothing into account other than the fact that there were no likes on the comment yet.

Noah Paul fuck u
😀that was good
I just realized that James and Jason's fight is very similar to the sword fight between Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojirō. Much like Sasaki, Jason talks about how he is the best warrior that can defeat anyone, especially someone not fitting to be a warrior like Miyamoto/James. When you think about it, both James and Miyamoto look nothing like warriors but are secretly skilled ones. James came in late like Miyamoto for the duel and Sasaki/Jason was furious and was upset about it, which is part of the plan of making him lose focus. Miyamoto defeats Sasaki by getting in an advantage position where the sun blinds Saski, therefore giving Miyamoto the final blow to end the fight. James throws off Jason not only arriving late but also blocking most of Jason's strikes which causes him to exhaust all his energy. James was able to come back at him in the end with a surprise attack out of nowhere now that Jason is exhausted and ends Jason.
I love how the other reply to this martial breakdown and comparison to a legendary duel is "bare knuckle bootie boys''
Excellent presentation, thanks.
Mr. Happy is definitely surpressing a lot of rage. 😂
Tim Page There’s nothing scarier than somebody who is so pleasant when you know he’s an undefeated fighter lol.
I bet he murders Hookers in the evening or some shit
༺ȻʘƦƔƗƝ༻ ahahhahah
I think he let go of the rage.
Yeah it's like one of those movies where the sweetest guy has bodies in his freezer.
how did I know the american would get the shit beat out of him
You didn't, but you'll claim that you did now that you saw the video.
TheWhiteGuy82 I did know, it doesn't seem too likely that a yank could come here and do too well in a bare knuckle fight
manofknowledge1000 Lol, you ma'am, need to grow up some.
The American guy actually dropped some pretty good bombs on that guy but after the break the guy was able to regain some strength and turn it around. It wasn't like a one-sided fight at all, that's for sure. Big props to both fighters....
***** watch out people!?!? we've got a black belt keyboard warrior on our hands.
I understand "Snatch" way better now. Thank you, well documented!
Trash Taste sent me here
Mr. Happy seems like a pretty cool, yet humble dude.
Seems like a meth gypsy.
I hope he is still doing good
He seems like hes one kick on the back of his bus seat away from going full mental rampage on someones ass!
I have to agree. He looks like he could fucking lose it any second.
I wonder if at night he comes back as Mr. Scary
*FIRST RULE ABOUT FIGHT CLUB*.
.....We make an entire documentary to expose ourselves and tell the world that we do underground fighting.

SyscoVids junk
SyscoVids then he let the other guy tire himself out with his machine gunning before knocking him out cold
SyscoVids imagine if he actually trained hed wud demolish every1
check out ruclips.net/channel/UCevutfii4WMg6-rdJ30nV3Qvideos its grown a lot since our hay bale days.last event was at the o2 arena
I think him showing up late and drowsy from "sleeping" was a mental game inspired by Miyamoto Musashi, and when he was getting plumbed was the Rope a dope. Dudes a brain ninja.Got him mad, made him lose focus, made him under estimate and made him exhaust himself. High Five
That's the first thing I thought of but I think he just got drunk for real, pretty impressive given that he won.
It probably made the American feel more overconfident too
His Japanese inspiration defeated Jason's Chinese massage.
Mr happy is even more intimidating, you can tell by his body language that he can rock some fool, but his candor and cadence is so mellow and controlled. Could be an evil genius but chooses to do good.
21:09 Look at the guy with the belt. It's Shaun Smith! The UK's scariest debt collector. Small world.
Patrick Bateman lol I remember that episode.
cougarfighting I think the lad at 22:10 is out of Vice's 'The UK's Young Reoffenders' video also.
Dog Poo You're right.
Patrick Bateman He also appears during the final match (around 24:00) as the referee. Small world indeed.
There is also a strong link between this video and the Fraud video Vice posted in which Dave Courtney features who is often in and around the BKB scene.
Most Brits are bare knuckle fighters after 7 pints and a few insults.
It's our culture m9
Should be like that everywhere no guns or weapons

I’m a bare knuckle fighter WITHOUT my 7 pints. After that I’m all good and can catch the bus to work.

I love how much the dude in the thumbnail looks like Mac from Always Sunny. You will never unsee it.
I'm from Newcastle and I was thankful for the subtitles 😂
Regardless, the fighters seemed like decent blokes
How hilarious that someone pretends bare knuckle fighting was 'invented' anywhere. I imagine it was invented a million times over by every impulsive primate that ever got angry.
There's a difference between a fist fight and qn organized reffed fight.
@@jamesforsyth418 no there's no difference, like between the ancient greeks wrestlers and organized olimpic wrestling fghts, one comes from the other.
i doubt that cavemen fought with fists, in the "primitive" animal kingdom fighting within the same species usually means a ranking fight (who is the alpha etc.) and human bodies are created to wrestle, not to box.
When you see to kids playfighting, you don't see them throwing light punches but they instead they wrestle, because that's the natural human fighting style.
@@pet3r387 I believe you never had a fight in your life as child nor as adult. fist is the most natural and ready arm you have. it allows you to keep distance. first you hit, than you wrestle. that's for now for yesterday and for the paleolitic.

Anyone else getting quite a strong Psychopath vibe from Mr. Happy?
You mean he's murdering people Dexter style to maintain a Mr Happy exterior? xD
Robert Cromack Nope.
Only playing. Even if he is (and he was very good at fighting) it's not illegal. At least he's not brawling in the streets any more.
he has jesus tatooed on his arm for a reason and undefeated , its called demonic perception and knowing of which move another being is about to pull off before it happens , which comes with certain drawbacks such as emotional fucking and loss of self , happyness is his key to maintain and stay in control before the demon takes over again.

I went to a bare knuckle fight here in Vegas, and the main event went on for almost an hour. The rules were knockout, or quit. No time limit. It was between this Irish brawler, and African bushman. It was a brutal fight. The African won with a miraculous left haymaker.

Love "Happy James", his found attitude, his ability to reflect honestly about his own life and deeds. The "Stevo"-Equivalent of Bare-Knuckle. Good man!
The solicitor was very well spoken and did not at all look or seem like the type of guy to be into such a violent sport, good on him for holding his own against someone 20 years younger. He was also missing his index finger!
That man makes the concept of a Fight Club very realistic. Just a regular dude who will risk his life in meaningless fights to get some adrenaline rush.
Hes boxed all his life, was a decent pro boxer in the 90s

I like how they have a small size ring so there's no room to dance. But I'd be falling over backwards on the hay from backing up 😆
As an American, I'm rooting for the Brit.
we do not claim "the Eagle"
As a brit much respect to the American who came all the way over here to put on a great show
@@therealbill1033 Stop licking ass lad it’s cringy when Brits do that

@Fearless scared of what lol your the keyboard warrior talking like you know me settle down
all wars should be fought with bare knuckle boxing.
You want Mexico running shit?
Maybe I do lol
***** In real life, real Mexicans are mean fighters. They aren't all small. I just got back from DF, it looks just like LA with more crime and speed bumps.
Mega Thingz Why,firearms are good.
+Turtle Philosopher thats good
holy shit.....this isn't a 'people who just had sex' video. about fucking time
In the beginning of the video it says "for hundreds of years the men of Britain have rammed their unprotected fists into each others bodies to find whose the hardest of them all" this is allll about sex ;D
This reminds me of me....after service in the USMC and even during that service....My upbrining, the truth this fable tells....wonderful documentary...Im in my 50's...been 8 or 9 years since I woke up the next morning with bruises...black eyes...ect.......And that feeling in my gut that I lost control..................
Very well made documentary. 👍
Finally a Vice reporter who isn't a condescending hipster laughing at people and one who is actually interested and even in his reporting.
Finally? This video was uploaded 5 years ago m8
I'm just really glad to see Mac from It's Always Sunny finally got his fighting career off the ground! #TeamClownBabyForLife !!!
Skipping to comments just to see if there‘s someone else seeing that coincidence. 😂 Thx
Same
Oh thank god someone else had the same thought
I love how they made the guys stand there for little panoramas instead of just slowing down the footage lol
I was the Yorkshire bare knuckle boxing champ for 4 years undefeated. Its a hard life but it's a loyal life. Loyal to your opponents and the people in the sport. I'm glad I'm out of it though as I have found Jesus and now live a life of peace and non violence 🙏
I think I just discovered a way to stop the football hooligans from fighting in the streets. LOL!
its a great strategy
+Rob Robert i don't think most football hooligans have the balls to fight this way. they are weak a and they fight in gangs with weapons...
no! don't stop them. I love those videos haha.
