THE FIGHT BEFORE THE FIGHT 🥊
This was me trying to cut the last 3 pounds at weigh-ins.
At the time, I was already the reigning, defending welterweight champion for one promotion; traveling to another promotion to fight their champion.
My 5th title fight. 🥊
I was sick, dehydrated, and throwing up all night after trying to rehydrate.
I had never missed weight in my career but when you’re trying to drop 18 pounds in a few days, it can absolutely wreck your body and your head. 🤮
I showed up thinking I was on weight…
Turns out my scale was off. 🤦♂️
🆘Emergency mode.
🟦Portable sauna.
🟦Do whatever it takes.
Sometimes the fight starts before you ever step on the scale. 🥊
