Yesterday at the Gateway Hotel in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted the official weigh-in ahead of tonight’s European super bantamweight title clash between reigning champion Rendall Munroe and former European bantam titlist and WBC world title challenger Simone Maludrottu.
Proceedings went smoothly and quickly. The two men quietly took turns weighing in and both posed for the obligatory ‘face-off’ photographs. As you would expect from these two boxers – there was no goading or verbal onslaught from either man.
Munroe looked in fantastic shape and was calm and relaxed throughout.
Weights were as follows:
European super bantamweight championship, 12 rounds
Rendall Munroe: 8 stone 10 pounds/122 lb
Simone Maludrottu: 8 stone 9 and a quarter pounds/121.25 lb
Other boxers weighing in were as follows:
Welterweights, 8 rounds
Scott Haywood: 10 stone 9 and a half pounds/149.5 lb
Scott Woolford: 10 stone 9 and a quarter lbs/149.25 lb
Welterweights, 3 rounds
Steve Jevons:10 stone 6 pounds/146 lb
Vinny Woolford:10 stone 5 pounds/145 lb
