ALL THE WEIGHTS from the weigh-in ahead of Chris Bourke vs Ashley Lane on Friday night at York Hall, Bethnal Green, live on TNT Sports:
First up, the stage is set for a showdown for the vacant British and Commonwealth Bantamweight Championships, with Chris Bourke and Ashley Lane tipping the scales at 117lbs 4oz and 117lbs 14oz, respectively. This 12-rounder promises to be a belter.
Then, in the light-heavyweight division, Willy Hutchinson and Martin Houben are stepping into the ring for the WBC International title. Hutchinson’s coming in at 174lbs 10oz, with Houben a shade lighter at 173lbs 5oz. Ten rounds of tactical warfare await.
The heavies are also throwing their weight around, with Moses Itauma and Dan Garber set to clash. Itauma’s at 241lbs 3oz, while Garber’s a hefty 262lbs 10oz. This 8-round tussle is not for the faint-hearted.
Featherweights, welterweights, super-welterweights, and super-lightweights are also lining up to prove their mettle. From Royston Barney-Smith’s featherweight finesse to Sean Noakes’s welterweight wallop, and from Sonny Liston-Ali’s super-welterweight swagger to Luke McCormack’s super-lightweight sharpness, there’s talent aplenty.
Closing out the card, the cruiserweights, Iman Zamatkesh and Pawel Stykkowski, are set to square off, weighing in at 202lbs 14oz and 201lbs 7oz, respectively. This 4-rounder could be a quick, explosive affair.
