Josh Emmett, boasting a record of 19 wins and 4 losses, is on a high after his recent knockout victory over Bryce Mitchell. Eager to continue the upward trajectory, he faces the unbeaten Lerone Murphy, who stands at 15-0-1 and is determined to preserve his perfect record with a career-defining triumph.
Both fighters successfully made weight, with Emmett stepping on the scales at 146 pounds, and Murphy slightly lighter at 145.5 pounds. However, the weigh-ins were not without drama, as Cortavious Romious came in 3.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit. To add to the changes, the bout between Daniel Santos and Davey Grant was called off since Santos did not make it to the scales.
