Below are the official weights for the Deontay Wilder versus Luis Ortiz WBC heavyweight championship rematch at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday (Sunday in Manila). The main event and three undercards will be broadcast on Fox Pay Per View.
Two undercards had weight issues as Julio Ceja came in at 126.5 lbs, 4.5 lbs above the bantamweight limit. The title will only be on line for his opponent Brandon Figueroa.
Earlier Luis Nery came in one pound over the bantamweight limit at 119 lbs for the WBC silver bantamweight title against Emmanuel Rodriguez. Although only one pound over, Nery refused to lose the excess weight. The fight was later scrapped as Rodriguez refused to accept money offer from the Nery camp for the fight to continue.
