Below are photos from the weigh-in for the IBF & WBO/NABO Heavyweight Championship featuring champion Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs) from Zywiec, Poland and hometown favorite and top rated contender Cristobal Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) from Riverside, CA.
Chris Arreola weighed in at: 250.5 LBS.
Tomasz Adamek weighed in at: 217 LBS.
The two heavyweights will square off this Saturday, April 24 at The Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, CA as part of the “Ring of Fire” boxing card beginning at 5 p.m. The night of boxing is promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions and Main Events in association with Ziggy Promotions and sponsored by Corona and San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.
The 28-year old Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) rebounded from a hard-fought, defeat at the hands of WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko — in his first attempt to become the first boxer of Mexican descent to win a world heavyweight title back last September. He won his last bout by destroying 34-1 Brian Minto en route to a fourth-round TKO on December 5, 2009 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The heavy-handed Arreola sent Minto to the deck twice in that fatal round.
Tomasz Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs) who now lives in New Jersey will be defending his title he won after scoring a 5th round TKO over Andrew Golota last October. Since that bout, the former light heavyweight and cruiserweight World Champion went the distance in making a title defense with a unanimous decision over Jason “Big Six” Estrada on Feb. 6, 2010.
