The fight takes place at 190 pounds with event taking place at the AO Arena in Manchester.
After teasing a potential move to bare-knuckle for several years, Till finally pulled the trigger after signing a multi-fight deal with BKFC. He made his debut back in May and after suffering a flash knockdown in the opening round, Till came storming back and delivered a brutal knockout win over Aaron Chalmers.
Now he’ll face a much bigger opponent with Romero returning to BKFC after scoring a knockout in his debut with the promotion back in 2025. Romero actually dropped a controversial decision in his second bare-knuckle fight but that matchup took place outside of BKFC for a promotion in Russia.
Now Romero looks to get back on a winning track when he faces Till in September in a potential slugfest between two very heavy hitting fighters.
More fights are expected to be announced for the card over the next few weeks.
