Austin Trout certainly doesn’t plan to go easy on Diego Sanchez but says he will show him some mercy. Trout, a former WBA champion, and UFC veteran Sanchez will make their bareknuckle boxing debuts Friday night when they meet at BKFC Knucklemania 3 in Albuquerque, N.M. The event streams live on pay-per-view on FITE.TV . Trout, 37, is on a five-fight boxing winning streak, which includes a recent victory on December 9. Sanchez, however, is coming off a significantly longer layoff from competition as he most recently dropped a unanimous decision in mixed martial arts to Kevin Lee in March 2022 at Eagle FC 46.
