Steely Eyes and Championship Dreams: Manchester's Epic Weigh-In
Manchester's boxing scene is buzzing with anticipation! Jordan Gill, the Chatteris challenger, tipped the scales at a lean 129 ½ pounds, unfazed by the vocal hometown support for Manchester's own Zelfa Barrett, who came in slightly heavier at 129.6 pounds. Gill threw down the gauntlet, brushing off the taunts from Barrett's fans with a steely resolve. "I'm not scared of anything," Gill declared, setting the stage for an explosive 12-round junior lightweight clash on DAZN this Saturday at the AO Arena.
"I hear his cheerleaders saying I’m shook," Gill stated post-weigh-in, a fire clearly lit within.
Women's Ringside Rivalry Hits New Peaks
Pushing the limits and making history, Segolene Lefebvre and Ellie Scotney's intense face-off took on new significance when news broke that their battle would crown the first-ever women’s Ring champion in the 122-pound division. Lefebvre, flawless at 18-0 with 1 KO, weighed in as a picture of athleticism at 119.3 pounds. Scotney's competitive edge brought her to a staunch 121.8 pounds, her gaze locked with Lefebvre's in an icy showdown that lasted over a minute before either blinked.
Rhiannon Dixon and Karen Elizabeth Carabajal also hit the mark at 134 ½ pounds each, eager to vie for the vacant WBO 135-pound belt and step into the illustrious footsteps of Katie Taylor.
With the rest of the undercard fighters weighing in, the stage is set for a night of fierce competition and indomitable spirit that has come to define Manchester's storied fight nights.
The Stare Down: Barrett vs. Gill
Eyes locked and muscles tensed, Zelfa Barrett and Jordan Gill hit the scales with the crowd's roar in their ears. Barrett, Manchester's boxing pride, tipped at 129.6 pounds, ready to rumble in his own backyard for the first time since 2021. Gill, unfazed by cheerleader chants, clocked in at 129 ½ pounds, exuding confidence ahead of the 12-round junior lightweight clash. Fresh off a knockout victory, Gill's coming for the ultimate comeback on the DAZN stage.
Title Ambition: Lefebvre vs. Scotney
An ice-cold glare was shared between Segolene Lefebvre and Ellie Scotney as they both weighed in under the junior featherweight limit for their high-stakes unification bout.
