Rivals go public for weigh-in
Promoter Scott Lansdowne has announced there will be a public weigh-in before this weekend's heavyweight grudge fight in Leicester.
Ring rivals Scott King and Lenny Buttling will come face-to-face in Leicester Town Hall Square, on Friday, at 1pm before meeting at Liquid Envy nightclub the following night.
Lansdowne says the title clash between Blaby basher King and Buttling, from Loughborough, has got fight fans talking.
King is making his first defence of the EBF Midlands Area heavyweight championship and it promises to be explosive while it lasts.
