WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury weighed in at a fat-looking 277-lbs, a career-high for him, at Friday’s weigh-in for his trilogy match against Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder on Saturday, October 9th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The heavyweights will not be the only big punchers in action inside The T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday night.
According to a news story on ESPN.com, former lightweight king and pound-for-pound champ Vasiliy Lomachenko is set to fight in New York on December 11.
It was a case of too much punching power for WBO featherweight champion Emanuel Navarrete with his 12th round knockout victory over fellow Top Rank promoted Christopher Diaz in their headliner at the Silver Spurs Arena, Kissimmee, Florida.
The knockout streak ended, the unbeaten run did not. So what next for 17-0(16) super-middleweight contender/superstar in the making Edgar Berlanga?
