BKFC 34 set for Florida with Luis Palomino headliner, more
One of, if not the standalone, pound-for-pound best bareknuckle boxer has his next bout.
Former World Series of Fighting (WSOF) title challenger Luis Palomino (7-0) will defend his BKFC lightweight title against Tom Shoaff (4-3) at BKFC 34, an event scheduled for Dec. 3 at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla., the promotion officially announced recently.
Palomino, 42, has proven unbeatable thus far since he joined BKFC in early 2020. In July 2020, won the promotion’s lightweight title in 45 seconds against Isaac Vallie-Flagg in what was his second BKFC appearance. After four successful title defenses, Palomino moved to 170 pounds in June and he defeated Elvin Brito by unanimous decision to become a double champion.
Shoaff, 33, went 11-4 as an MMA fighter prior to his bareknuckle pivot. After an inconsistent 1-3 start, Shoaff rattled off stoppages of Nathan Mitchell, Josh Wright, and Bruce Lutchmedial to earn a title shot.
Also on the card, Francisco Ricchi (5-0) will battle David Mundell (5-1) for the BKFC middleweight title in a co-headlining bout.
The current BKFC 34 lineup includes:
- Champion Luis Palomino vs. Tom Shoaff
- David Mundell vs. Francisco Ricchi
