Condes Rarin' to Go
Dynamite-fisted Florante Condes weight just 107 lbs after doing his usual morning roadwork. As he still has almost two weeks before flying to Jakarta, Indonesia he should not find shedding the extra two pounds too difficult.
Condes is expected to reach 150 rounds of sparring this week, and said that he hasn't lost focus despite the fight getting postponed again. Condes is expected to do his final sparring on June 29, which will be a four-round session. He will have done a total of 164 rounds under him for the Rachman fight if plans don't miscarry, .
The promotional obligations for this fight have been taken over by Ndondo Sugiarto in partnership with Tourino Tidar. This is a result of original promoter Albert 'Mr Tom' Papilaya reported disappearance following a string of unfulfilled promises. The new promoters then petitioned the IBF to move the fight from its original schedule of June 16 to a new date on July 7.
