Showtime Boxing Weigh-ins: Anthony Joshua, Eric Molina Set for Heavyweight Title Tilt

Showtime Championship Boxing will deliver fight fans a special international presentation on Saturday afternoon in the U.S. as IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua will defend his crown against Eric Molina. The two will collide at Manchester Arena in England, with the cable giant airing the fistic festivities live at 5:20 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT.

At Friday’s weigh-ins, both combatants scaled in on the spot, clearing the final hurdle before they lock horns in the center of the ring. Molina (25-3, 19 KOs) came in at 237.5 pounds while Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs), a 2012 Olympic gold medalist, tipped the scale at 249.

The fight will see if Joshua will continue his impressive knockout streak while Molina will aim to become the first Mexican-American to capture a world title at heavyweight. Showtime will air an encore presentation of their duel following the excellent Jesus Cuellar-Abner Mares WBA featherweight matchup later in the evening.
