Taylor Starling has emerged as one of the Bare Knuckle Boxing Championship’s breakout stars and she’s confident that she can sell fights on the strength of her own name now.
That means we shouldn’t expect her to face off with BKFC poster girl Paige VanZant anytime soon.
While VanZant, a popular fighter who made her name in the UFC, has brought plenty of attention to the growing bare-knuckle boxing promotion, it’s fighters like Starling, Britain Hart, and Christine Ferea who have delivered in the ring. Starling is fresh off of a 28-second knockout of Cassie Robb at BKFC 19 in July, a finish that stole the show on a card headlined by VanZant and fellow former UFC fighter Rachael Ostovich.
