SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING? Live From Bell Centre In Montreal At 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT

MONTREAL (June 2, 2017) ? WBC Light Heavyweight World Champion Adonis Stevenson and Andrzej Fonfara had a tense faceoff during Friday?s weigh-in for their 175-pound rematch this Saturday live on SHOWTIME from Bell Centre.

Fonfara (29-4, 17 KOs) weighed-in at 174 ? pounds while Stevenson (28-1, 23 KOs) measured a ready 173 ? pounds for their rematch of an all-action 2014 showdown in which both fighters scored knockdowns.

?I?m as strong as ever,? said the southpaw Stevenson. ?I know he?s dangerous, I know he?s tough. He has a new trainer and he?s going to do everything he can to take my title. But I'm going to go for the knockout. I?m going to show him I don?t only have the left, I have the right, too.?

Fonfara promised he?s improved since their first meeting both physically and mentally under new trainer Virgil Hunter.

"I'm the smarter guy now, and I have more experience,? Fonfara said. ?I'm ready mentally and physically to take his belt. I'm here to put Stevenson down and become the new light heavyweight champion."
