Jade “Evil Smile” Masson-Wong has a new promotion, a new opponent and a three-sided ring waiting for her. The Canadian fighter is scheduled to make her BKB debut against Monica “Fearless” Franco at Bally’s Dover Casino Resort in Delaware on Friday, November 20.
Their super featherweight bout joins Bally’s Fightnight by BKB, headlined by former boxing world title challenger “Hammerin’” Hank Lundy against Jairo “Almighty” Santos. Lundy gets the main-event billing, but Masson-Wong’s arrival gives the card another fighter with championship experience.
Jade Masson-Wong Set for BKB Debut
Masson-Wong signed a multi-fight, multi-year BKB agreement this summer after building a 4-2 bare-knuckle record with two knockouts. She has also competed professionally in boxing and MMA, making this a change of scenery rather than an introduction to fighting without gloves. Her previous bare-knuckle run included a win over Taylor Starling in May 2023 and a 60-second stoppage of Gabrielle Roman in March 2024.
That September, she challenged Christine Ferea for the BKFC women’s flyweight championship, taking the champion through five rounds before losing a split decision. One judge scored it 49-46 for Masson-Wong; the other two gave Ferea the same margin. Now she trades BKFC’s Squared Circle for BKB’s Trigon, the promotion’s three-sided fighting enclosure. Its 60-degree corners create a different setting for a fighter whose previous title challenge went the distance. Franco enters the announced matchup at 1-2.
Masson-Wong made her intentions clear when she joined BKB: “Now I’m coming to BKB to chase world titles and give the fans the exciting fights they deserve.” Dover is her first scheduled step toward that goal.
Above her on the bill, Lundy brings a listed professional boxing record of 32-14-1, including 14 knockouts, into a five-round welterweight contest. His resume includes a February 2016 challenge against Terence Crawford for the WBO junior welterweight championship at Madison Square Garden. Crawford retained the belt with a fifth-round stoppage. Santos brings a 2-0 conventional boxing record, with both wins by knockout.
He also stopped CJ Dean in the second round of their October 2024 bare-knuckle matchup in Myrtle Beach. So while Lundy is entering unfamiliar territory, Santos has already experienced the no-gloves format.
