Israil Madrimov and Michel Soro will fight in the World Boxing Association (WBA) super lightweight eliminator this Saturday, and on Wednesday London experienced the official public training session before the fight at the O2 Arena.

Both Soro and Madrimov had their turns on the ring set up in the streets of London and showed some of their physical condition in soft work in front of the people and the press attending the event. 

Soro went first to the ring and did some shadow work while posing for the cameras in a calm and quiet atmosphere. Madrimov also gave the GJ some moves and threw some punches in his session in the ring. 

Present at the event were all the fighters for the evening, which will feature Ereck Chisora and Kubrat Pulev in the main event, plus two WBA regional title fights between Felix Cash and Vaughn Alexander, plus Caoimhin Agyarko vs. Lukasz Maciec.
