Snoop Dogg shares footage of Cumbrian bare-knuckle boxing champion
West Cumbrian bare-knuckle boxing champion Agi Faulkner has caught the eye of rap icon Snoop Dogg.
The Egremont fighter's brutal contest with Dawid Oskar last November earned Faulkner the BKFC European heavyweight title.
And when footage of the ferocious contest reappeared on social media last week, legendary rapper Snoop Dogg was among those to share it - to his 88.6 million followers HERE.
The footage showed Faulkner and Oskar trading powerful blows from the off in their title fight at Newcastle last November.

Faulkner floored Oskar early on before his opponent fought back with some formidable punches of his own.
The Cumbrian responded in a relentless contest which saw Oskar blood-streaked by the end of the first round, with Faulkner then sealing victory by knockout early in the second round.
Snoop Dogg's sharing of the footage on Instagram attracted 201,000 likes and 3,219 comments as the rapper's followers were introduced to Faulkner's punching power.

The 36-year-old from Egremont, who is unbeaten in his three BKFC fights, is now a major figure on the top bare-knuckle platform.
He is preparing for his latest fight, which is expected to be in Italy, with details yet to be confirmed. Faulkner is expected to move to cruiserweight.
Faulkner also recently flew to Hollywood to take part in a major press conference which saw the announcement, by BKFC bosses David Feldman and Conor McGregor, of a new $25m "World's Baddest Man" tournament which is due to begin in the USA next year.
Faulkner spoke of his eagerness to be involved in the lucrative open-weight tournament. 'That's what we're in the game for, isn't it?' he said. 'That's what I'm here for now. Find out who the baddest man in the world is.
'Let's get me in this tournament. We'll soon find out.'
