Juergen Braehmer and Nathan Cleverly easily made weight for a light heavyweight title fight that is even more relevant now than was the case five years ago when it was originally targeted to place.
There was nary an incident at the scale as the pair of near-middle aged boxers came well within the 175-pound divisional limit. Braehmer (48-2, 35KOs) - who turns 38 on Wednesday - came in at a trim and ready 172.6 lbs. in search of his sixth title defense. Cleverly weighed 174.3 lbs. in hopes of becoming a two-time light heavyweight titlist.
The bout will air live on SAT1 in Germany and Sky Sports in the United Kingdom, along with a live webcast on free-and-legal streaming site FloSports.
