THOR BJORNSSON AND DEVON LARRATT WEIGH IN FOR SHOWDOWN
PhilBoxing.com Fri, 17 Sep 2021

Thor Bjornsson and Devon Larratt both hit the scales on Friday as they prepare for their highly-anticipated clash on Saturday.
Thor takes on Larratt in the main event of a stacked card at Sport Society in Dubai this weekend, which will be broadcast live on CoreSports.World.
The weigh-in took place on Friday, with former World's Strongest Man Thor weighing in at 146.5kg, while arm-wrestling legend Larratt weighed 124kg.
Heavyweight sensation Martin Bakole is also on the bill, as he returns to action after almost a year to take on Haruna Osumanu, while CrossFit rivals Josh Bridges and Jacob Heppner will finally settle their differences, as they collide in a much-talked about grudge match.
Two of the most popular females in combat sports have respective bouts, as undefeated star Avril Mathie meets fellow unbeaten fighter Jesca Mfinanga, while world-record-holding powerlifter Stefi Cohen meets Marcela Nieto, plus Anthony de Bruijin faces Giorgi Gachechiladze.
