Shaw sounds off on weight

Despite agreeing to a catchweight for his fighter Danny Geale, Gary Shaw has been vocal this week about his discontent with the weight situation.

“I have a personal problem with catchweights. We accepted the catchweight of 157 and I’m not here to complain about the catchweight. We’re going to make the weight. It’s going to be tough.

“I believe that if a fighter wants to fight at any weight that he wants to fight at, he has that opportunity, but he shouldn’t stop the opponent from fighting at the sanctioned weight which in this case is 160,” said Shaw.
