Dunfield, Friedl and Jackson's twisted Alexander polynomial conjecture for hyperbolic knots

Let $K$ be a hyperbolic knot, let $g(K)$ denote its genus, and let $\rho_{\rm holo}:\pi(K)\to\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ be a lift of the discrete and faithful representation defining the hyperbolic metric. Dunfield, Friedl and Jackson's conjecture. The twisted Alexander polynomial satisfies

$$\Delta_{K,\rho_{\rm holo}}=4g(K)-2.$$

Furthermore, $K$ is fibered if and only if $\Delta_{K,\rho_{\rm holo}}$ is monic. This relates the holonomy twisted Alexander polynomial to the genus and proposes that it detects fibredness for hyperbolic knots; the supplied source does not indicate whether the assertion has been resolved.
