With only a fortnight to go until the infamous Boodles Boxing Ball, all eyes were on the competitors as they gathered at Bunga Bunga last night for the weigh-in. Guests drank passion fruit punch (geddit?) and lychee cocktails in the Battersea eatery while the boxers lined up to be weighed, measured, and, luckily, found to be not at all wanting. These lads have been preparing their bodies for the big unveil for months now, although the Bunga Bunga mini pizzas may have done some damage… The event was sponsored by Boodles and Asahi beer.
Here is the full list of bouts, complete with current betting odds, provided by Fitzdares private bookmakers:
(4/5) Balthazar Fabricius, 74 kg vs Arthur Landon, 75.3kg (Evs)
