Number 1 rated World Boxing Council (WBC) super lightweight contender Olusegun Ajose and one of the hardest hitters in the world, Number 2 rated WBC super lightweight contender Lucas Matthysse, worked out for the media on Wednesday at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, just three days before they square off for the vacant WBC Interim Super Lightweight World Championship, on Saturday, Sept. 8, live on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Take a look at a collection of workout photos from Ajose and Matthysse right here.
In Saturday’s co-feature, undefeated J’Leon Love (12-0, 7 KO’s), of Las Vegas, will face Chicago’s Ramon Valenzuela (7-1, 1 KO) in a 10-round middleweight bout. Love, who is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and trains out of the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, also worked out for the media on Wednesday.
Everybody looks to be in fantastic shape, especially Ajose Olusegun, who looks absolutely cut. He’s been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time, and plans to take advantage of it.
