Luis Palomino, a star from the BKFC has recently expressed his willingness to face Floyd Mayweather inside the boxing ring. The 42-year-old fighter who goes by the nickname of ‘Baboon’, is after a “big money fight” and feels Mayweather is the perfect opponent for him. ‘Baboon’ has several names in his mind. However, he believes a fight with ‘TBE’ would do justice to his “competitive drive”.

When Mayweather recently squared off against YouTuber Deji, Palomino watched the fight. According to Palomino, despite the ‘fun’ that Mayweather had in the ring, Deji hardly posed a threat. Therefore, the 42-year-old desires to put on gloves and represent Bare Knuckle, rather a “dark side”, in a contest with ‘TBE’.
