World champion Estelle Mossely and her challenger Yanina del Carmen Lescano both made weight ahead of tomorrow night’s historic lightweight title showdown in Dubai.
The opening night of Probellum Evolution takes place at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on Friday with the packed card also featuring a WBC super-featherweight title eliminator, a fast-rising British prospect, and a fearsome heavyweight puncher.
French star and Olympic gold medallist Mossely tops the packed card against her dangerous Argentinian rival, in the first ever female world title fight to headline a show in the Middle East, with Ireland’s Jono Carroll acting as chief support in a 10 rounder with Ghana’s Patrick Ayi Aryree.
Boxing starts at 5:20pm local time with the action from a major night of boxing being broadcast by Eurosport’s linear channels, discovery+ and Eurosport App, to 62 million homes across Europe and the Indian sub-continent.
fuboTV will stream both Probellum Evolution shows to its audience in North America, with ESPN KO showing the cards in South America, after a deal was announced last week.
