Austin “No Doubt” Trout is ready to live up to his nickname in Dubai.
The defending BKFC World Welterweight Champion doesn’t just want to defeat Carlos Trinidad-Snake in Dubai on April 4 — Trout wants to make an example out of his unbeaten opponent, LIVE worldwide on DAZN.
“I’m in the best shape of my life. I’m ready to put my opponent away. He hasn’t been stopped yet, but I see myself finishing him before the fifth round,” Trout says.
“I’ve got to make a statement, and that’s what I’m ready to do.”
Trout’s highly anticipated title defense against Trinidad-Snake will headline the first night of BKFC’s historic, two-event premiere in Dubai on April 4-5, LIVE globally on DAZN.
In just three trips to the Squared Circle, Trout has established himself as one of – if not the – most dangerous fighter on the BKFC roster. The former World Boxing Association titlist has quickly evolved from the most touted gloved boxer to drop their gloves and join BKFC to a bonafide superstar with the world’s fastest growing combat sports promotion.
Just like Trout did during his globetrotting gloved boxing career, he’s just enjoying his action-packed Second Act in the world of bare knuckle fighting.
“BKFC gave me a whole new lease on life,” he says with a smile.
“It’s rare in combat sports to have a whole second chapter in your career. My time with BKFC has allowed me to continue doing what I did well in boxing, and learn a whole lot of new stuff along the way.
“I feel like I’m 17 again.”
