Protagonists Carl Jammes Martin and Oscar Duge of Tanzania both made the contracted weight of their 10-round super-bantamweight encounter.
During Friday morning's official weigh-in at the Elorde gym in Manila, the Ifugao-native Martin registered 123.8lbs while Duge came in at 118.4lbs.
"I am challenged by his record. He has yet to lose by a knockout. That will be my aim, to be the first boxer to knock him out," said Martin . While the bout is a non-title affair, a lot will be at stake as the super bantamweight Martin is currently ranked No. 4 in the IBF and No. 9 in the WBO, something that Duge wants to claim.
"I know he is good and his fights are seen around the world. This is my chance to show the world I am also a great fighter," said Duge who holds an 11-5-2 record with 4 KOs. Promoted by Gerry Penalosa's GerryPens Promotions, the Martin-Duge battle will be staged Saturday afternoon at the Flash Ballroom in Sucat, Paranaque.
