IBF Cruiserweight Champion, Tomasz Adamek, stepped on the scale today in preparation for the defense of his championship belt. Looking fit and ready, Adamek weighed in at 199 lbs. Challenger, Bobby Gunn, was also in fighting shape, coming in at 194 lbs.

Bobby Gunn expressed his usual enthusiasm, saying, “I wish the fight were today, that’s how ready I am. I’m so excited. Tomorrow is going to be a great night. I have about 50 people coming in on a plane right now, there are so many people are coming out to support me. It’s fantastic. I will not let them down!”

Adamek, responding to a question from a fan asking if Adamek thought this was going to be an easy fight said, “I am too intensely professional to take Bobby Gunn lightly. There is danger every time you step in the ring. I have worked too hard to lose all I have just because I didn’t take my job seriously.” “But tomorrow there will be no let down for my fans.” “First opportunity I get I will try to knock Bobby Gunn out, because I don’t get paid for overtime!”
