WARRINGTON’S Rhiannon Dixon and Oslo’s Katharina Thanderz have weighed in ahead of tomorrow’s battle for the vacant EBU European lightweight crown.
Their contest is on the undercard of the Jai Opetaia versus Jordan Thompson world title fight at Wembley Arena and all involved have been on the scales this afternoon.
Both Dixon and Thanderz look in great shape, with the Warrington southpaw weighing in just two ounces heavier at 134lbs 4ozs.
Their fight is scheduled for 10 rounds on what is a busy night.
