Mu-Gyeom, Jeong-Yeong make weight for Road FC 50 featherweight title fight
Road FC 50 is set for the Chungmu Gymnasium City in Daejeon, South Korea on Saturday night. The event will be headlined by a featherweight title match between champion Choi Mu-Gyeom and challenger Lee Jeong-Yeong with both men making the weight.
Mu-Gyeom tipped the scales at 65.9kgs (145lbs) while Jeong-Yeong was 65.7kgs (144.8lbs). The champion will be looking to make the fourth defence of his Road FC 145lbs title. If successful he will set a new promotional record.
Choi believes his boxing skills will be key to retaining the belt.
“I hope to make history with my fourth title defense in ROAD FC. Because I will retire afterwards, I am committed to this fight and I will win by impressively outboxing him.”
Meanwhile Lee has pledged to become the youngest fighter to ever claim a Road title.
“I’ve prepared as if I’m already the champion. Tomorrow I’m going to make the record of being the youngest ROAD FC champion.”
