Odelia Ben Ephraim and Sarah Kaddour Weigh In

Odelia Ben Ephraim and Sarah Kaddour both weighed in ahead of their clash tomorrow at Gymnase Jean Jaures in Cherbourg, France. Both are very talented fighters, whose records don't accurately represent their ability. Ben Ephraim is 5-6 while Kaddour is 1-1.

Kaddour's weight was announced as 119.6 pounds. BoxRec recorded her weight for one other fight at 120.8. She's a 30 year old from Clichy, France who has had a lot of success in other combat sports.

Ben Ephraim was 121.1 pounds. The 26 year old has come in at a range of 119.5 and 126 pounds. She fought as a featherweight earlier in her career, but has recently moved down to junior featherweight.

After a tense stare-down during the faceoff, Ben Ephraim extended her hand and the two warriors shook hands as a sign of respect. Odelia then drank Powerade with a little bit of salt to rehydrate. She added some applesauce and fruit. She ate dinner two hours later, which consisted of chicken breast and pasta with chocolate cake for dessert.

This bout is scheduled for six two-minute rounds and can be watched here or on HBOMax.
