Iltalehti explored people who were working with martial arts that they would think of the bare fixture of a contradictory species to land in Finland.
Boxing without gloves?
In Finland, barefight fights have not been held, but the promoter of the ICE CAGE fighting organization Max Hynninen Does not consider the idea impossible.
– If two professional leavers were to take a match without gloves, one might be arranged. Not one where competitors are inexperienced. That would be wrong to me, Hynninen answers Iltalehti.
According to Iltalehti, the idea of organizing barefight fighting in Finland has not been caught in the wind. There could be willing experimenters.
Hynninen admits that this has been considered at least.
– In fact, there is one professional freelance player who will ask me if he could go to the barefrying match in Ice Cage. I have said that I have to ask the Free Matching Association if it is ok, Hynninen reveals.
– I’ve been wondering if it’s good or bad. As long as there are no criminals or beginners, maybe it is possible one day, the promoter continues.
Russian artist performed at the Tuska Festival at the end of June Alex Terrible Mäiski in Moscow a bare -to -poison match the previous weekend. The trace was rugged. The species is generally considered very questionable, but there are also other positions.
Hynninen even flashes that boxing without gloves can be safer than with gloves. A bare fist causes more external wounds and traces, but according to Hynninen, it is not much arranged because the knuckles break down.
According to Hynninen, the sport may look finer to the public.

“In no way”
Deputy Chairman of the Finnish Boxing Association, Ex-boxer responsible for top sports Jouni Hartman It considers it possible that boxing without gloves can soon be seen at home.
– After all, these things have come, so why not. I do not believe that a lot of sports federations will come along. In no way, the Boxing Association would not get involved, Hartman says.
According to Hartman, a potential match would probably not be seen in Finland’s top -level Olympic rules.
– Some sanction could come to license athletes. There should be good grounds before the union would go along.
Hartman himself does not consider the bare fixture a sport.
Russian-driven IBA Boxing Association, from which Finland has divorced, like many other countries, accepted just without gloves to box As an official species controlled by IBA.
– I’m not surprised at all if this is the case. IBA probably try everything now when the lands leave. They try to get the job done in some way, Hartman sneaks.
Circus?
Iltalehti’s martial arts expert Jaakko Dahlbacka It is a good thing that barefighting has not become more common in Finland. According to him, the trend is wrong.
– One hundred years ago, it was already stated that the face and fists of the contestants are broken and they can’t box a career. They were put on their gloves to make sense. Why is there no danger of that information? Dahlbacka wonders.
– Of course, I understand that we want the maximum amount of attention and the shock value. Let’s do something that is as brutal and violent as possible to bring new viewers, he continues.
Athleticism recedes from entertainment. For example, seen in Ice Cage Mika Ilmén and Joni Takalan The show was of interest to the people, but at the same time the question arose whether the 54-year-old ex-prison and the 24-year-old somerson known for his chauvinistic speeches were circus or sports.
According to Dahlbacka, the bare frying fight is at the same dilemma.
– If you take the gloves off, even a worse boxer becomes interesting when it comes to new excitement.
Gloves are used in the freestyle. Theo Kolehmainen, coached by Jaakko Dahlbacka, competed in Ice Cage against Hama Dara. Kolehmainen will be seen in Ice Cage in September in a cage with Makwan Amirkhan in the free match. Atte Kajova
Safety?
British Magazine Guardian dealt with barefighting fight In 2024. The article discussed the idea that without gloves could be less dangerous than with gloves without gloves.
The idea is that when the striker’s knuckles are damaged and the matches are shorter in the head less than in glove boxing.
According to this logic, the damage will remain superficial. Blood looks dramatic, but the brain suffers less.
Freestyle Makwan Amirkhan physician Christer Lybäck Answer the claims.
– I don’t find it credible. It should provide research and follow -up, but it can be difficult to get. I believe there is a bigger risk of serious injury in bare boxing.
Lybäck recalls that even in the early days of the sport, there were no gloves in the early days, but in the end the gloves were found to be useful.
How would Lybäck himself or herself be if his controlled martial athlete told him that he was going to take a barefryer?
– The doctor as such cannot be denied. It is everyone’s own thing if it is generally acceptable and not criminal. I would have a conversation and telling my own view, Lybäck bundles.
