Daniel Jacobs has elected to skip his next day weigh in for the IBF Middleweight Championship. This means that he will not be winning that belt if he beats Golovkin tonight.
"Golovkin is defending his IBF title, however, Jacobs cannot acquire the title with a victory because he did not participate in the required IBF same-day weigh-in," IBF championships chairman Lindsey Tucker told ESPN.
Jacobs weighed in at 159.8 and GGG weighed in at 159.6. One has to suspect that Jacobs will enter the ring tonight close the light heavyweight mark.
"Gennady is very excited to defend all of his titles against Daniel Jacobs in this matchup of the two best middleweights in the world," said K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler.
