World Boxing Council light heavyweight champion Oleksandr “Nail” Gvozdyk will make the first defense of his world title against Congo-born Frenchman Doudou Ngumbu on Saturday night at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, United States.
The WBC recognizes the professionalism of both fighters and their respective teams, as they have complied with all the medical requirements, examinations and safety protocols required, apart from the magnetic resonance of the French challenger.
One of the main priorities of the World Boxing Council is the total implementation of the new Weight Management Program, which aims to protect the health of fighters.
What is the WBC Weight Monitoring Program?
For the previous weigh in of 30 days, the boxers must not weigh more than 10% of the limit of their division, for the 14 days they must not exceed more than 5% and in the 7 days 3%.
* The fighters must be weighed in the dressing room of the arena where the fight will take place. It must be done to monitor that the established percentage is not exceeded, with the intention of taking care of the integrity of the boxers.
In this way, both fighters only have to comply with the new WBC weighing on the day of the fight to verify that neither exceed 10% of what they tipped in the official weigh in, to fully comply with the new WBC weight management program .
We greatly appreciate the dedicated work of William Boodhoo, who is responsible for promptly following up all the requirements.
