Bally’s and BKB Roll Out ForceIQ Data Feed for Biloxi Fightnight

Bally’s control of venue, sensors and distribution aims to boost fan engagement through real-time punch analytics.

Overview

  • Bally’s Fightnight by BKB will stage a card at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Biloxi on Friday, Oct. 23 with Jarod “Kid Gatti” Grant headlining against late replacement Luis “Pantera” Guerrero.
  • Bally’s ForceIQ sensors, embedded in fighters’ hand wraps, record punch speed, retraction speed, punch type and G-force and stream those measurements to arena displays and broadcasts for leaderboards, heat maps and predictive features.
  • Both companies say the ForceIQ data is an entertainment layer only and does not change BKB’s official governance, which relies on referees in the ring and three judges using the ten-point must system.
  • The move formalizes a vertically integrated model where Bally’s supplies the venue, the ForceIQ technology and distribution on Bally Sports Live and EstrellaTV FAST, and the series will next visit Bally’s Dover Casino Resort on Nov. 20.
  • The partners have not released audited viewership or financial figures, and the Fightnight rollout builds on a 2021 pilot and a public launch announced in November 2025 as the companies expand the concept across Bally’s properties.
