Callum Simpson and Troy Williamson made weight for their 168-pound fight Saturday night in Leeds, England
Callum Simpson and Troy Williamson both successfully made the 168-pound super middleweight limit ahead of their British, Commonwealth and European title fight Saturday night at Leeds’ First Direct Arena. The event will be broadcast on BBC 3.
Simpson will be making the first defence of the title he won by stopping Italy’s Ivan Zucco in June. He scaled 167 pounds, 11 ounces. Williamson, the English titleholder, weighed 167 pounds, 6 ounces.
The show’s undercard was hit by two major late withdrawals.
First, Liverpool’s Frankie Stringer was ruled out of his fight against Levi Giles when a pre-fight medical examination revealed an issue that will require further investigation.
Then, America’s Blair Cobbs pulled out of his welterweight fight with unbeaten Elliot Whale citing illness.
In a statement, BOXXER provided details of the changes to the show;
“The health and safety of fighters remain BOXXER’s highest priority. BOXXER has worked diligently to provide fans with the strongest possible fight card under the circumstances.
“Levi Giles will remain on the card, and Ashlee Eales will step in to face Elliot Whale.”
A revised running order showed that Giles will now face Jahfius Faure, although they didn’t appear at Friday’s weigh in.
Eales (11-1, 3 KOs) had been due to box Jermaine Osbourne-Edwards on the prelims but his fight with Whale will now act as chief support.
