伦敦 (五月 19, 2017) – America’s youngest world champion, Gervonta戴维斯, and undefeated No. 1 contender Liam Walsh both tipped the scale at the 130-pound limit during 周五 official weigh-in at the 133-year-old Theatre Royal Stratford East for 周六 IBF Junior Lightweight World Championship on SHOWTIME.
周六 at the sold-out Copper Box Arena in London, the 22-year-old “Tank” Davis (17-0, 16 科斯) 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 科斯) 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 (英国), 罗宾·泰勒 (美国) and Deon Dwarte (南非).
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 分钟后，.
“我感觉很好,” Davis said. “I’m ready.”
After the weigh-in, Walsh downplayed the tense stare down and words exchanged during the faceoff.
“明天 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.”
戴维斯VS. Walsh is part of a split-site, four-fight SHOWTME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast that begins on 星期六, 五月 20, 在 6 P.M. AND/3 P.M. PT. 在主要事件, 加里·拉塞尔JR. 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.
