Anthony Pettis will likely be bigger than ever when he steps inside the ring to fight boxing great Roy Jones Jr. at Gamebred Boxing 4 on April 1, but the bulking process wasn’t as extreme as fans may think.
During his time in the international spotlight, Pettis has competed at lightweight and welterweight. But when he got the call that informed him of the potential opportunity, Pettis said he was weighing closer to an MMA light heavyweight, at approximately 205 pounds. The bout will be eight rounds in the cruiserweight boxing weight class of 200 pounds.
