Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Harold Hari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lex Lethal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hari comes to the ring accompanied by King Drum. Lethal has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
