On February 25th, first ranked super bantamweight Rey Vargas of Mexico, will face # 2, Gavin McDonell of the United Kingdom, with the vacant World Boxing Council title at stake…but first a weighty issue!
The bout will take place at the Ice Arena Hull, right in the “White Rose” heart of Yorkshire and although McDonell is the local lad, Rey Vargas has commented he feels right at home!
Both fighters underwent the obligatory WBC 30-day pre-weighing, designed to encourage gradual, controlled and safe weight loss, in order to avoid excessive dehydration and serious associated health risks.
McDonell and Vargas climbed the scale from their respective camps:
Gavin McDonell weighed 133.4 being within the allowed limit (134 pounds, 10% of the division), while Vargas was a slimmer, less beefy 126.76 pounds.
