Kickboxing fighters ready after weigh-in

Dubai : KO Promotions have announced the results of the weigh-in for their fifth World Kickboxing Federation Fight Night, taking place on February 12 at Chi at The Lodge.

Fighters stripped down and took to the scales to ensure they meet the weight requirements in time for the big night.

A relaxed Najmeddin "Scorpion" Al Haddad stepped on the scales to weigh in at 62kg and will be facing Ben "Bullrider" Burrage, who weighed six kilogrammes more than his opponent at 68kg.

Only time will tell if the "Bullrider" will be able to shed the weight in time for the WKBF World title.

Al Hassan "Ghana van Damme" Okine tipped the scales at 65.5kg and will team up with George "Thai-Tanium" Micouris weighing in at 64kg.

Their opponents did not meet weight requirements so the fierce duo could face an unknown quantity tomorrow night.

The pressure was on as defending Middle East Muay Thai Champion, Kerry "The Cockney" Bennett stood at a solid 55kg while her Australian opponent Jane "Princess of Pain" Wilson, tipped the scales at 61kg.

Wilson will need to lose six kilos before the big night on Friday or runs the risk of elimination.
