NO YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS! REY VARGAS AND GAVIN MCDONELL BREEZE THE WBC 30 DAYS WEIGH IN

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.
