Weights for Norfolk

Ran Nakash (22-0, 16 KOs) weighed in at 204 pounds for his bout with Richard Stewart in Norfolk, Virginia's Scope Arena later tonight. Stewart (14-8-2, 8 KOs) came in at 199.5 pounds.

Elad Shmuel will be battling Edward Anderson, a new scheduled opponent, in the same venue. Shmuel (21-2, 11 KOs) came in at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds. Anderson (4-15, 3 KOs), who is 48 years old, weighed in at 145.

Update on Nakash Possibly Fighting Gunn

In an interview with Lorne Scroggins of 8CN Boxing, Bobby Gunn reiterates that his team is in negotiations with fellow cruiserweight Ran Nakash. According to Gunn, "They're talking about putting it in July on ESPN."

Gunn is 21-4-1 with 18 KOs. He said of Nakash, "He's somebody that's just tailor-made for me personally. He's never been battletested yet, like I have."

But before any potential bout with Gunn, Nakash has work to do this Saturday in Norfolk, Virginia against Richard Stewart (14-8-2, 8 KOs). Nakash is undefeated with 22 wins and 16 KOs.

Kedem Wins on Points

Eilon Kedem defeated Pedro Antonio Salcedo by unanimous decision earlier tonight. One judge had Kedem sweeping all six rounds, another gave Kedem five rounds, and the final judge counted four for Kedem. The boxer from Herzelia, Israel improves to 11-3-4 with 7 KOs. Salcedo falls to 3-3 with 2 KOs.

Kedem is still slated to fight in three weeks on April 15 at Roseland Ballroom in New York. He's scheduled to take on Elton Dharry (2-5-1, 0 KOs). Dharry, who has never won outside of his native Guyana, is suppose to fight tomorrow as well, so take this pairing with a grain of salt. For now, it'll be a six round bout at junior featherweight.
