Scottish star Ricky Burns and Namibian Julius Indongo passed the scale with 139.2 pounds and 139.3 pounds, respectively.

They are both ready to fight for the WBA (IBO and IBF) super lightweight titles.

Burns is the WBA 140 world champion, and this is the second defense of the belt he won in 2016 when he defeated Italian Michele Di Rocco and defended against Byelorussian Kiryl Relikh.

“Rickster” has been the Super featherweight and lightweight champion. His experience and his good boxing are his best weapon.

Indongo is the title holder of the International Boxing Federation. He won this title in December 2016 when he knocked Eduard Troyanovsky.

So far the Namibian has proven to be a tough nut to crack, with a respectable punch power, proof of this are three knockouts in a row.

The Scottish has a record of 41-5-1, 14 KO’s, while his opponent has 21-0, 11 KO’s.
