Don’t mention Chicken McNuggets right now — Donovan George is hungry, and he can’t have any.
He’s hungry because he has to make middleweight for the first time in his pro career, and is just a few days away from stepping on the scales for his bout against David Lopez on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights.”
In the eight and a half years he has been a professional boxer, the closest Donovan George ever got to the middleweight limit was in his third pro bout, when he came in at 161 pounds, according to BoxRec.com. Since then, he has stepped into the ring as heavy as 172.5 pounds, but has mostly competed as a super middleweight.
“My whole career at super I was a smaller guy,” George wrote on a chat on ESPN.com on Monday. “I was fighting monsters. I would ask my managers how I get to fight some of these guys. But now I might be the shorter man, but I will be the stronger man. I could be close to 180 on fight night and I'll be good and strong.”
But that move isn’t the easiest, he wrote. [Click Here To Read More]
