GLORY

If you're a fan of BANGFESTS, you won't want to miss this.

Top-ranked heavyweight kickboxers Tyrone Spong and Remy Bonjasky hit the scales earlier today in London, England, and while both fighters were able to make weight without incident, the festivities were not without its share of drama.

From the official release:

Their face-off had an extra level of intensity added to it as Spong arrived late for the weigh-in and kept Bonjasky standing around waiting. The decorated veteran felt he had not been afforded the respect he deserved and Spong received a good dose of evil eye as he finally strolled in to take the scales.

In addition, Albert Kraus was stood up by Andy Ristie, whose visa problems forced him to withdraw. Replacing him is Warren Stevelmans, which moves Johann Fauveau into a short-notice fight against London-based Romanian import Pasniciuc Constantin.
