On April 4, 2025, under the bright lights of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium, Britain Hart once again proved why she’s bare knuckle royalty. In one of the most anticipated bouts of the night at BKFC 71, Hart faced off against the fierce and unpredictable Tai Emery—a matchup that brought fire, drama, and championship energy to the co-main event.
A Fierce Opening From Emery
From the sound of the opening bell, Tai Emery came out like a storm. Sharp, aggressive, and confident, Emery landed heavy shots early on, particularly strong left hands that seemed to shake the rhythm of Hart. Fans were on edge as it looked like Emery had come in with something to prove—and she wasn’t backing down.
Britain Hart's Championship Composure
But if there’s one thing we’ve learned about Britain Hart over the years, it’s this: she doesn’t break, she adapts.
By Round 2, Hart began finding her groove—calmly resetting, slipping punches, and landing beautiful, crisp combinations. Her timing was sharper than ever, and her defense, footwork, and shot selection showed how far she’s come as a BKFC fighter. She landed one of the cleanest sequences of the night with a textbook one-two followed by a stiff left hand that echoed through the arena.
With each round, Hart showed more dominance. By Round 4 and 5, it was clear—she had taken control of the fight.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Total Strikes Landed: Hart 109 | Emery 87
Significant Strikes: Hart 74 | Emery 53
Rounds Won (Judges' Scorecards): 50-45, 48-47, 48-47 (Unanimous Decision)
It was Britain’s technical discipline and ring IQ that separated her from Emery’s aggressive approach. She showed growth, poise, and a veteran’s presence in the squared circle. This victory marks her 10th BKFC win and 4th successful title defense, tying her with Christine Ferea for most wins in women’s BKFC history.
The Moment That Didn’t Happen — Yet Still Made History
What made this fight even more personal was the heartbreak behind the walkout. Britain had recorded her own walkout song, “On Top,” produced by Lab 111 Studios and CARTERj, Lab 111’s CVO and creator of Lab 111 Sports. The track symbolized her grind, her confidence, and her rise.
But when it came time to walk, the song didn’t play. Despite asking for an edited version the day before, it was never queued.
Still, her team didn’t give up.
Lab 111 CEO Genie Chanai, who traveled all the way to Dubai to support Hart and film Part 2 of her exclusive documentary, worked behind the scenes and miraculously got the song played on Day 2 of the event—just before the featherweight title fight. It was a powerful, symbolic moment: a song created by a champion, played before another major women’s title fight—marking a new era of women making their mark in combat sports.
