Terrill was set to come to the event as a commentator. Now he’s in one of the featured fights. Let’s talk bare knuckle boxing.

Neither man goes long. Trujillo has stopped all eight BKB opponents inside a round and is 12-0 as a pro boxer. Terrill is 11-2 with 10 knockouts and won the vacant BKFC heavyweight title in 2023 before Ben Rothwell took it from him in 36 seconds. BKB CEO David Tetreault called the booking a matter of “real fighters, real fights, no waiting around.” Terrill’s own line: “I’ll fight any man, any time, any where.” Trujillo’s answer: “Be careful what you wish for.”
Here’s a look at the video that shows the culmination of the speed negotiations.
