Former world champion Anthony Mundine is promising to bring fans boxing like they've never seen before when the gloves come off in Queensland this weekend.

On Sunday, Mundine's World Bare Knuckle Fighting will launch the Australian first with an opening card at the Logan Sports Complex.

It's a blend of the old and new, with Mundine labelling the bare-fisted bouts the "purest form" of fighting, delivered as a whole new spectacle.

"Everyone loves a good go," he said, "It doesn't matter what event you're at. If there's a fight in the crowd, everyone is going to look at the crowd."

"It's the evolution of fighting. It's the purest form.

"It's like a fair go…to see who's the best."

The event will see Ricky 'The Rat Man' Brown go toe-to-toe with former NRL player-turned-boxer Curtis Scott for the inaugural world bareknuckle heavyweight championship belt put on offer.

Bare-fisted fights have been green-lit in other parts of the world, with previous planned event's in Australia stopped short.

Earlier this year, a Perth event organised the US-based Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, co-owned by Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor, was cancelled by WA's combat sports authority.

Mundine has argued shorter rounds and minimal repeated blows to the head in bare knuckle fights, in comparison to traditional gloved boxing, negates extra fears for fighters' safety in the ring.

The overall product is an "entertaining, explosive, exciting show" Mundine said ahead of the weekend.

"I saw the opportunity," he told National Indigenous Times, "to jump on and grow it organically in Australia".

Mundine said he's adamant it's something only going to get bigger in the future.

"We're taking small steps and hopefully we can sell out stadiums in the long run, and find out who's who in the zoo," he said.

Mundine is also paying credit to those getting in the ring on Sunday.

"It's hard enough getting in the ring, just for boxing," he said.

"Being bare knuckle, man, you've got to take your head off to the warriors."
