Coquitlam, B.C., hosted a triumphant evening for local fighters at BFL 63.
In the headline bout, Dejan Kajic (now 12-7-2, 1 NC) retained his BFL 175-pound championship with a brutal first-round TKO finish against Ricardo Centeno (now 8-5), leaving his opponent visibly hurt throughout the exchange.
This marks Kajic's fourth consecutive victory, each one coming via knockout, and he expressed his readiness to advance to higher-profile competitions.
"I want to be on the big cards, man. Just give me a phone call," Kajic declared during his post-fight interview inside the cage.
"I'm number one in Canada hands down. Every time I step in there, I knock people out in the opening round—I keep finding openings. This guy was as solid as they come, so I know it's legitimate competition."
During the co-headliner, a significantly longer affair than anticipated, Achilles Estremadura (now 5-0) preserved his unbeaten record by retaining the BFL lightweight title via unanimous decision against a gritty Carson Frei (now 8-4).
Estremadura praised Frei's resilience and his capacity to endure five grueling rounds without yielding.
Similar to Kajic, Estremadura voiced confidence that he is prepared to level up and chase larger purses.
"My situation has changed—I've got a daughter now and I'm fighting for her," Estremadura shared during his in-cage interview.
"I want to see real paydays for this work now, so I'm looking forward to competing on a major card. I'm ready."
In the BFL amateur featherweight title contest, Gwyn Berry (now 7-2) produced the knockout of the evening against Dakota Angel (now 3-2) in their rematch, connecting with a crisp head kick early in the third round to close it out.
Berry explained the strike wasn't a calculated setup—it was simply another option from his extensive toolkit.
"I've got so many things I drill. In the locker room we were drilling low kicks, body shots, and then working the high kick with the question mark technique," Berry explained in a post-fight interview.
"I've landed it several times during practice, so I felt completely comfortable executing it."
This win extends Berry's streak to three consecutive victories and brings his amateur fight tally to nine overall.
With three amateur titles under his belt and experience sharing the octagon alongside some of British Columbia's finest, Berry indicated that turning professional appears to be his next step, pending a conversation with his coaching staff.
"I still need to check in with my coaches and get their input, but the plan was always to turn pro," Berry said.
Gio Platon also retained his amateur bantamweight crown, stopping Donavin Morris early in the opening round, while Taran Bir captured his second career kickboxing championship.
Kirk Tse, Ali Wasuk, Oguzhan Yalćin, Mani El-Hefnawy, Samuel Ramsay, Jonathan Broad, Scott Erikson, Kaylan Rae, Farid Aminuddin, and Robyn Dunne were among the victors on the card.
