Countdown for Mikaelian vs. Makabu – Where to watch?
The “Only in America 92” card that celebrates the 92nd birthday of one of the most fantastic promoters in boxing history, Don King, happens on Saturday at the Miami Jai Alai Casino, in Miami, Florida.
The card is headlined by the 12-round battle for the vacant World Boxing Council cruiserweight title, in which number one ranked fighter Noel Mikaelian (26-2, 11 KOs), will face former world champion Ilunga Makabu ( 29-3, 25 KOs).
Makabu, who lost his title to Badou Jack when he was stopped in the 12th round, hopes to regain the belt from him after Badou Jack announced that he will seek to capture the Green and Gold bridger title.
Noel comes to this festivity after defeating tough fighter from Congo, Youri Kayembre Kalenga, by decision.
This Friday both warriors passed the weigh-in without problems. Mikaelian registered 199.6 pounds, while Makabu was 197.8 pounds.
