One more preliminary fight before the main event. Ersilandy Lara is defending the WBA’s version of the middleweight title against Danny Garcia, a former world champion at junior welterweight and welterweight seeking to become the first ever three-division champion to hail from the great fighting city of Philadelphia. Worth mentioning: although the fight is for Lara’s middleweight belt, it has been contracted at a catch-weight of 157lbs, three pounds below the division limit.
At 41, Lara is the oldest active male world champion in the sport today.
