The excitement is fever pitched and Elton Dharry and Orlando Penalba are ripped and ready for their WBC International super flyweight title collision this evening at the National Stadium.

As vitriol spewed during yesterday’s weigh-in at the Pegasus poolside, Penalba tipped the scales at a shredded 113.6 pounds, while the equally supremely conditioned Dharry crept right under weight limit at a fighting ready 114.6 pounds.

The bout will be the main attraction of the five-fight ‘Road to Redemption’ card.  Action is set to start at 18:00hrs.
