In the co-main event, promising 20-year-old Uzbekistan fighter Ulugbek Sobirov (8-0, 4 KO's) of the Vladimir Boxing Gym in Malaysia tipped the scales at 69.2 kilos (152.5 lbs) while tough Indian Lion Pardeep Kharera (5-3, 4 KO's) came in at 68.1 kgs (150.1 pounds) for their non-title super welterweight battle that might not make the distance.
