Two-time Puerto Rican world champion Jose “Sniper” Pedraza will fight American Mikkel LesPierre, in a ten rounder, presented by Top Rank at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, to be televised on ESPN.
This Wednesday, the official weigh-in, when Pedraza was 143.9 pounds, while Mikkel LesPierre 143.5 pounds.
For the second time in two weeks, both boxers weighed in for the main fight from a card, as on the first occasion the fight was called off because a member of Mikkel LesPierre’s team tested positive for Covid-19.
Pedraza (26-3, 13KOs) is looking to make it to the ring for the first time since a 10-round loss to José Zepeda last September.
LesPierre (22-1-1, 10KOs) bounced back from his only career loss and title challenge with a points victory last December in New York City.
