yep,"...according to US reports will also serve as an eliminator for the WBO or WBA middleweight title." So then wouldnt the bout be a middleweight?
I doubt Timmy could give a toss if the fight is at 160 or 154. His last couple have been at 157 so he has both bases covered. Spence is the guy coming up from Welter. The 'controversy' over weights is a clickbait story to generate interest in the official announcement of their fight. Tim & No Limit have gone over to the US for that. I reckon the winner of Tim v Spence will challenge Erislandy Lara for the WBA Middleweight title.
Timmy's first defence of the WBA belt after knocking off Spence & Lara? Jermell "Houston Hare" Charlo. That's if there's anything left of him after he tries to climb the Beanstalk.
"As a result, Rose met with executives from Spence’s promotional team, PBC, inside the Wynn Las Vegas overnight and eventually settled on a catchweight of 158 pounds (71.67kg)." https://www.foxsports.com.au/boxing...s/news-story/427bbd3faf7a2faa4470f1986584b17c
Spence’s lazy fat ass can’t make 154 he is a career weight bully the mighty Tim is going to put him down then he’s gonna get the strap.
