Light heavyweights Jai Opetaia and Brandon Glanton both weighed in inside the 200-pound limit this afternoon ahead of their fight tomorrow night (Sunday) in Las Vegas.
Australia’s Opetaia, the IBF champion, weighed 199.5 lbs, while Glanton, from America, tipped the scales at 200 lbs.
Although Opetaia weighed in with his IBF title close to hand, that belt will not be on the line tomorrow night, with the IBF having withdrawn its sanctioning of the bout on Friday. Instead, Opetaia, 29-0 (23 KOs), and Glanton, 21-3 (18 KOs), will fight for The Ring championship and the inaugural Zuffa cruiserweight belt.
