The official IBO weigh-in ceremony will be this Friday (Sept 21), in which both fighters are required to make no more than 105 lbs (47.63 kgs), the limit of the minimumweight division.
"Condes (25-6-1, 21KO's) looks relax and in good shape for the coming big event. He will have no problem in making the weight. Budler (20-1, 6KO's) is young, hard and a good fighter. But Condes has experienced. punches hard and had a good training camp in La Trinidad (Benguet). We just hope for the best," said from Johannesburg international matchmaker Brico Santig to Philboxing.
