لندن (مه 19, 2017) – America’s youngest world champion, Gervonta دیویس, و بدون شکست شماره. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during جمعه official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for روز شنبه IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.
در روز شنبه at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 کوس) will attempt to become the first American to successfully defend his title on British soil in nearly a decade. The 30-year-old Walsh (21-0, 14 کوس) will aim to dethrone a man labeled by Davis promoter Floyd Mayweather as “the future of boxing” in the first defense of his IBF crown.
The referee for Davis vs. Walsh is Michael Alexander, and the judges are Howard Foster (انگلستان), Robin Taylor (ایالات متحده) and Deon Dwarte (آفریقای جنوبی).
With fans chanting “Walsh is gonna get you” as Davis stepped on the scale, the Baltimore native narrowly missed the 130-pound limit by two ounces. Per IBF rules, Davis was given two hours to shed the extra ounces and successfully made weight approximately 90 دقیقه بعد.
"احساس خوبی دارم,"دیویس گفت. “I’m ready.”
After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.
"فردا we’ll lay hands on each other for real and the best man will come on top. I’m gonna win. I’m going to give every last ounce of what I’ve got.”
دیویس در مقابل. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on روز شنبه, مه 20, در 6 p.m. و/3 p.m. PT. در رویداد اصلی, گری راسل جونیور. will make his second featherweight title defense and long-awaited homecoming against mandatory challenger Oscar Escandon live from MGM National Harbor just outside of Washington, D.C.
