Jamaica’s ‘Axeman’ to Move Up in Weight Class

Jamaica’s ‘Axeman’ – Nicholas Walters is to move up to a heavier weight class when he takes on American super-featherweight Jason Sosa at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in New York on December 19.

Walters, a former World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight lost his  featherweight title earlier this year following his failure to make the appropriate weight in a fight against Miguel Marriaga.

He was also fined for his inability to make weight after being 1 pound over the 126 lbs limit.

The Jamaican star still went on to give Marriaga a sound beating.

  

Following the loss of his title, the ‘Axeman’ dropped to number four in the featherweight division’s rankings, which meant a shot at the title might not happen any time soon.
