Britain’s Fabio Wardley and American Michael Polite Coffie complied with the weigh-in for their World Boxing Association (WBA) continental heavyweight title fight, which will take place this Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London.
Wardley weighed 242.6 pounds, while Polite Coffie stopped the scales at 269.4 and both are ready for their showdown this weekend.
Wardley sees the fight as a great opportunity to move up the ladder and earn a regional title shot that will add another dimension to his career. The local fighter is 28 years old and has an impressive pulse power, which is his calling card and main tool in the ring.
Polite Coffie comes with everything to win and wants to surprise as a visitor. He has power in his fists and a significant weight advantage that he will try to capitalize on early if given the opportunity.
The local has a record of 15 wins, no losses and 14 knockouts, while the American has 13 wins, 3 losses and 10 knockouts.
