The card is organized by A&B Events and the Magnesi Boxing Team of promoter Alessandra Branco, wife of champion Magnesi.At the official weigh-in  both men proved to be in excellent shape:

This is what the silver champion said after the weighing ceremony:

“He’s a good boxer, but I feel sorry for him because he won’t take the belt to Colombia. I hope that all Colombians begin to follow me from my next fight. For me, being a WBC champion and representing it in Italy is very important.”
