Hey guys,

My debut bout was originally 20th October, but was moved to the 23rd November (next week Friday).

Problem is my opponents club said his current weight is 205lbs. At present I'm 249lbs, so there's basically next to no chance of the fight going ahead. A bit of a bummer but it just looks like I'll have to get my weight down. My coach said it's quite hard to get a match when you're approx 230lbs plus as a non-bouter. I'm training hard for the fight as the opponents club said they'll give until Wednesday to see what my weight is.

how did that happen!?!?!

He lost a lot of weight, or you built up?

What weight were you both when they, or you, enquired about the bout?

I have no idea when they did the actual match up. I've always floated at around the 17st 7 to 17st 12 mark.

The weight difference is just far too much, I'm surprised the other club is still interested to be honest, unless they think I'm a propa lard ass! lol
