Berchelt and Valdez breeze 30-day weigh-in

The eagerly awaited fight between the super featherweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Miguel “Alacrán” Berchelt and the former undefeated world champion, Oscar Valdez, will take place on February 20.

They sent their 30-day pre-weigh-ins, showing their great commitment and professionalism. Berchelt weighed 142.8 pounds, while Valdez posted 142.6 pounds.

One of the paramount priorities of the WBC is to safeguard the health of the fighters with the pre-weigh-ins and pre-fight medical requirements plus stipulations.

Berchelt, 28, with a record of 37-1 with 33 knockouts, has made six defenses of the title that he won against another Mexican, Francisco Vargas, in January 2017, and is undoubtedly one of the most talented fighters today.

Valdez (27-0, 21 KOs), 29, rose to the super featherweight division in 2019, after a successful campaign at 126 pounds.
