ਲੰਡਨ, (ਮਈ 19, 2017) – America’s youngest world champion, Gervonta ਡੇਵਿਸ, and undefeated No. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during ਸ਼ੁੱਕਰਵਾਰ ਦੀ official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਦੀ IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.
ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 ਕੋਸ) 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 ਕੋਸ) 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 (England), Robin Taylor (ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਪ੍ਰਾਂਤ) and Deon Dwarte (ਦੱਖਣੀ ਅਫਰੀਕਾ).
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 ਮਿੰਟ ਬਾਅਦ.
“I feel good,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”
After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.
"ਕੱਲ 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.”
ਡੇਵਿਸ ਬਨਾਮ. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on ਸ਼ਨੀਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ, ਮਈ 20, 'ਤੇ 6 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. ਅਤੇ/3 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ.
