Faulkner, the undefeated BKFC European heavyweight champion from Egremont, has signed a “multi-fight” contract.
It will see the hard-hitting west Cumbrian look to make further impact in the sport.
Faulkner, 37, won the European title in 2024 with a ferocious victory against Dawid Oskar.
That came in his third fight on the BKFC platform, with the west Cumbrian having won all three contests so far.
He has since announced that he will be moving to the cruiserweight division ahead of his next fight, details of which are yet to be confirmed.
Faulkner burst onto the BKFC scene with a first-round debut knockout win against Daniel Robson in Newcastle in November 2022.

He followed that with another first-round win against Rob Cunningham in Leeds in November 2023, this time by TKO.
That set up a title encounter with Oskar in Newcastle in November 2024 – a brutal encounter which eventually saw Faulkner prevail in the second round.
The ferocity of the latter contest attracted widespread attention with rap icon Snoop Dogg among those to marvel at the fight.
He shared footage to his 88m social media followers as Faulkner hit the spotlight.
He is one of a number of Cumbrians fighting on the BKFC platform.
Carlisle‘s Kieron Sewell is fighting in the bantamweight division with Maryport’s Bartek Kanabey competing at featherweight.
Kaseem Saleem, who owns the Unit in Carlisle, is also due to be in heavyweight action in Birmingham next weekend.
And Carlisle’s former British light-heavyweight champion Danny Christie has also hinted at a return to the platform.
