David Morrell and Aidos Yerbossynuly on Friday made weight for their super middleweight fight Saturday in Minneapolis, Morrell’s adopted hometown (Showtime).
Morrell weighed 166.5 pounds, 1.5 below the division limit. Yerbossynuly came in at 167.25.
Morrell (7-0, 6 KOs) is coming off a fourth-round knockout of Kalvin Henderson in June, the Cuban native’s fourth consecutive stoppage.
He holds the WBA’s “regular” 168-pound title, which Boxing Junkie doesn’t recognize. Canelo Alvarez is the WBA champion.
Yerbossynuly (16-0, 11 KOs) last fought in September of last year, when he stopped Lennox Allen in 10 rounds. The native of Kazakhstan lives in Las Vegas.
