Efe Ajagba-Joe Goodall – Weigh-In Results From Stateline, Nevada

Nine years after Joe Goodall edged Efe Ajagba in an amateur bout, not much separated the heavyweights again on the scale in Stateline, Nevada.

The 6-foot-6 Ajagba weighed in at 237.6 pounds for their 10-round fight Saturday night. The 6-foot-5 Goodall officially weighed 233.5 pounds for this rematch between familiar fighters who have sparred in recent years as well.

The battle between Nigeria’s Ajagba, 29, and Australia’s Goodall, 31, is the main event of a Top Rank card ESPN+ will stream from Tahoe Blue Event Center, which opened recently.

Goodall (10-1-1, 9 KOs) became the first fighter to stop St. Louis’ Stephan Shaw (18-2, 13 KOs) inside the distance in his last fight, which resulted in a sixth-round technical knockout July 22 at FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Shaw went the distance with Ajagba in his previous bout, a 10-rounder Ajagba (18-1, 13 KOs) won by unanimous decision January 14 at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

The official weights for the 10 fights on the Ajagba-Goodall undercard are listed below.
