“Chris Yubenk exceeded the permissible limit on 22 grams”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The main event will be a medium weight (up to 72.6 kg) – the Briton will meet in the ring Chris Yubenk (34-3, 25 KO) and his compatriot Conor Benn (23-0, 14 KO).
On the eve of this confrontation, weighing and duel of views occurred – one of the boxers had serious problems. Benn easily invested in a permissible limit, its weight was 70.9 kg.
Yubenk made several attempts to fit into the limit, but nothing happened – he exceeded the acceptable norm and now has to pay a solid fine. The organizers will take $ 500,000 from the Chris fee.
On the day of combat, April 26, boxers will be re -weighing – their weight should not exceed 77.1 kg. If one of the opponents does not get into the limit again, it will be fined.
