Austin Trout wasn’t going to be satisfied with his BKFC 57 booking against Luis Palomino unless a title was on the line.
According to Trout, a boxing standout who moved to the world of bareknuckle with a debut with over “The Ultimate Fighter 1” winner Diego Sanchez in February 2023, the initial plans called for him to challenge Palomino for the BKFC welterweight title on the Feb. 2 card (TrillerTV)at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
There was a brief plot twist after Palomino was allegedly stripped of his belt due to inactivity before being reinstated as the champ. That caused some confusion, but Trout said his bout with Palomino will have the belt on the line.
