All boxers made weight for the 2017 debut of the hit "Philly Fight Night" series, which will take place Friday evening in front of a record-sized crowd at 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Headlining the show, local lightweights Anthony Burgin and Avery Sparrow collide in a scheduled eight-round battle. Burgin (10-2, 2KOs) tipped the scales at a ready 133.1 lbs, while Sparrow (5-1, 3KOs) weighed in at 132.6 lbs.
The evening's co-feature represents the perks that come with taking career risks. Roque Zapata managed a major upset in the 2016 Philly Fight Nights season finale last December, edging out previously unbeaten local super welterweight prospect Isaiah Wise. The 21-year young boxer from Virginia by way of Panama now returns to take on another Philly-proud product as he faces second-generation boxer Fred Jenkins, Jr. in a scheduled six-round chief support
Jenkins Jr. (10-3, 3KOs) weighed 155.2 lbs., slightly heavier than Zapata (2-1-3, 0KOs) who weighed 155 lbs.
