\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBKB 60 weigh-in results: Dy and McHugh hit 153lb, Diaz comes in over<\/p>\n

Rolando Dy and Scott McHugh have cleared the scales. Both weighed 153.0lb on Friday, making their BKB super welterweight world championship fight official for Saturday, October 10, at Utilita Arena Newcastle. The promotion\u2019s first Newcastle show now has its title fight locked in, with McHugh chasing a sixth BKB championship against the Filipino titleholder. <\/p>\n

There was a hitch elsewhere on the card. Former IBF champion and Olympian Joseph \u201cJoJo\u201d Diaz Jr. weighed 142.8lb for his super lightweight bout against Brian Hyslop, who came in at 140.0lb. BKB\u2019s October 9 weigh-in release flagged Diaz as over the limit but did not specify a penalty or revised agreement.<\/p>\n

Dy\u2019s championship credentials come with a family connection: his father is former WBC champion Rolando Navarrete. BKB\u2019s September announcement listed Dy at 6-1 with five knockouts, including victories over Liam Rees and former boxing world champion Paulie Malignaggi. Dy became the first Filipino fighter to win BKB<\/a> gold. McHugh brings more bare-knuckle mileage. <\/p>\n

The Leeds fighter was listed at 17-5 with seven knockouts, carrying a five-fight winning streak that included three stoppages. He is also a Bare Knuckle Hall of Fame inductee. There is no mystery about Saturday\u2019s assignment: take Dy\u2019s belt and become a six-time champion. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m coming to retain my championship and put on a great show,\u201d Dy said<\/a> in the weigh-in release. McHugh\u2019s response was equally direct: \u201cI\u2019m coming to Newcastle with my eyes on that belt and the chance to make it six world titles.\u201d The matchup replaced the originally announced Mick Terrill-Kamil Sokolowski headliner. Terrill withdrew after suffering a cut during his short-notice fight against Gustavo Trujillo in Miami.<\/p>\n

Diaz returns after winning his BKB debut at BKB 56 in Los Angeles. His next opponent, Hyslop, made the advertised 140lb mark. Meanwhile, Adel Altamimi weighed 154.6lb against Tom Mowbray\u2019s 152.0lb for their super welterweight contest, which BKB described as having potential title implications. <\/p>\n

The remaining weights, all in pounds, complete a 12-fight lineup. Co-headliners David Winiarski and Geraint Goodridge registered 167.2 and 168.4 respectively. Mark O\u2019Neill weighed 234.8 against Aaron Ashton\u2019s 229.2; Jon Telfer 160.6 against Mick Kelly\u2019s 160.2; Dec Spelman 195.0 against Marley Churcher\u2019s 200.0; and Liam Teruel 174.0 against Nathan Conroy\u2019s 175.2. On the preliminary card, Grant Molloy weighed 190.8 against Liam Smith\u2019s 191.0, John Hamilton 266.0 against Florian De La Motte\u2019s 247.0, Rob Barry 158.0 against James McCorrie\u2019s 160.0, and Logan Morgan 142.0 against Nick Bass\u2019s 142.2.<\/p>\n

The updated schedule puts preliminaries at 6pm BST, followed by the main card at 7.30pm BST. BKB lists TikTok for the prelims, with main-card coverage through talkSPORT in the UK and Ireland, VICE TV and Telemundo in the US, and TV Azteca in Latin America. TV Azteca\u2019s partnership begins with this Newcastle event.<\/p>\n
