In the mood for some pugilistic action? Well, Top Rank has got a night full of jabs, crosses, and uppercuts ready for you! On tonight’s fight card, Abdullah Mason and Jeremia Nakathila are set to give you a night to remember from Norfolk, Virginia. However, there seems to be some drama, and the night hasn’t even begun.
Originally, the event was supposed to be headlined by former WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis and Edwin De Los Santos. But in a twist of fate, ‘The Businessman’ came in 4.3 pounds over the 135-pound limit during the final weigh-ins, and the fight is now in the gutters. Still, the night must go on, hence, Mason and Nakathila have been given the opportunity to headline the main card. Before the event begins, here’s everything you need to know to catch the action.
