Play it safe this spring to prevent ankle injuries – NRToday.com
Spring is here, and with it brings the promise of warmer weather and longer days. With sunny days, kids and adults often head outside to enjoy physical and sporting activities such as hiking, biking, soccer, golf, and tennis. No matter what outdoor activity you enjoy, be sure to play it safe and prevent injuries, including injuries to your feet and ankles.
While ankle injuries are often thought of as sports related they can happen to anyone at any age. Each year, thousands of people sprain their ankles stepping off a curb, stumbling in high heels or even walking on an uneven surface. This often results in visits to urgent cares and emergency rooms across the country.
Foot and ankle related injuries can occur with any season or activity. Often, transitioning from winter to spring sports results in an increase in foot and ankle injuries. Although sprains and strains may be common injuries, there are steps we can take to lower the risk of such injuries. The best way to prevent sprains and strains is to improve ankle strength through exercise and stretching.
Building strength can help ward off injuries by improving your stability and mobility. Simple exercises like standing calf raises, flexing and stretching the ankle can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the ankle. While most people can do these exercises safely, I recommend talking to your primary care physician or other health care provider before beginning any exercise program.
Carrying added weight can also increase pain to the foot and ankle. Extra pounds put more stress on hips, knees and ankles. Reducing weight by just 10 percent can help reduce joint pain as well as risks of sprains and strains.
Another way to help prevent foot and ankle injuries is wearing appropriate, well fitting, athletic shoes designed for the specific sport or activity of your choice. This can help reduce heel pain and improve performance. It is also important for kids and adults to warm up before any physical activity. Warm-up exercises prepare our bodies for physical activity by gradually increasing heart rate and circulation. This loosens joints and increases blood flow to the muscles.
If a foot and ankle injury does occur remember R.I.C.E. rest, ice, compression and elevation. Many foot and ankle strains and sprains are successfully treated with the R.I.C.E. method.
Foot and ankle pain is not always related to an injury. Some people experience intense arthritic ankle pain. There are many local treatment options that offer long-term relief. Options like ankle arthroscopy or total ankle joint replacement can help relieve pain and maintain motion in the arthritic ankle joint.
If you have injured your foot and ankle and your pain persists, talk with your healthcare provider or call our office, as you may want to consider consulting a foot and ankle surgeon for further evaluation. Centennial Orthopedics and Podiatry, located in Roseburg, offers a full range of diagnostic procedures and surgical services including ankle arthroscopy and total ankle joint replacement.
As the warmer weather increases this spring, please play it safe and take precautions to prevent foot and ankle injuries.
Brandon Bishop, DPM, is a board certified foot and ankle surgeon at Centennial Orthopedics and Podiatry, a division of Centennial Medical Group in Roseburg.

The Way Nature Intended – PetProductNews.com
Consumers are more aware of the connection between whole foods and health in their own diets, and, as such, they are choosing frozen raw foods for their dogs.
By Lizett Bond
Published: 2017.04.28 06:12 PM
Pet owners are eager to ensure the diet consumed by their dogs will contribute to a long and healthy life. As consumers look to more natural or ancestral mealtime selections, frozen raw foods are gaining in popularity.
More than ever before, pet owners realize that ingredient quality is paramount, said Kyle Frautnick, marketing director for Primal Pet Foods in Fairfield, Calif.
Justin Magnuson, vice president of sales and marketing for Raw Bistro Pet Fare in Cannon Falls, Minn., agreed, noting a variety of reasons for the uptick in consumer demand for frozen raw options, including the personal connection between whole foods and health.
Customers are reading and comparing labels, Frautnick said. Its imperative to offer a better source of nutrition, as an alarming number of our beloved animals are being diagnosed with diet-related disease.
Diseases such as cancer, diabetes, allergies and chronic weight gain have affected a large percentage of the pet population, said Bette Schubert, co-founder and senior vice president of sales for Bravo Pet Foods in Manchester, Conn. As a result, veterinarians are recommending all-natural, limited-ingredient dietary alternatives to manage these conditions.
Another major factor in the growth of raw comes down to basic word-of-mouth, Schubert said. One pet owner notices that the pet of a neighbor or friend just looks better, has lost weight, has more energy or doesnt seem to be suffering from a condition that has plagued them for years.
Improved skin and coat, reduced stool quantity and odor, superior dental hygiene, and improved energy, vitality, and fitness are just some of the benefits offered with a complete and balanced raw frozen diet, according to Frautnick.
The Big Bad Woof is a well-known proponent of raw feeding in the Washington, D.C., area, and co-owner Julie Paez said that often, customers walking in are predisposed to a raw diet and seeking a wider variety of these foods for their dogs.
We also have customers that have tried other diets in an attempt to clear issues with their dog, including kibble, canned and prescription products, she said. After running the gamut, theyll come to us, and well suggest raw food, which knocks out most of the problems that they have been struggling with.
Raw food is so clean, Paez said. Its not processed; all of the nutrients are available immediately. With cooked kibble, half of the good stuff in the meat is lost.
However, consumer interest in frozen raw dog food can also be regional, and in more rural areas, where pet owners might own multiple dogs, including strays that have been taken in, a raw diet could be prohibitive to feed in terms of cost.
At Woof Gang Bakery, we recognize that a raw diet is not ideal for every customer, so it is important that our owners get to know their customers when selecting the best pet diet, said Samantha Cohen, vendor relations manager and corporate buyer for the chain, which is headquartered in Orlando, Fla.
Bill Trufant, co-owner of B&B Pet Stop in Mobile, Ala., noted a lack of demand for frozen raw foods in his store.
Its a different market here in Mobile, he said. We dont sell frozen raw in our storethere just isnt a call for it.
In answer to consumer demand for whole, species-appropriate nutrition, manufacturers are offering a broader range of frozen raw selections.
The anticipated summer rollout of the Lamb Entre from Raw Bistro Pet Fare will feature 100 percent grass-fed lamb sourced from Midwest family farms.
Were in the process of fine-tuning the formula with renowned canine nutritionist Steve Brown, said Justin Magnuson, vice president of sales and marketing for Raw Bistro Pet Fare in Cannon Falls, Minn. Because the nutritional profile of every meat is different, we dont use a standard premix in any of our frozen entres and formulate custom premixes calibrated to each meat.
Introduced last summer, Instinct Raw Boost Mixers provide an easy way for pet owners to introduce the nutrition of raw to their pets meal by topping kibble with frozen raw bites, said Shelby Wisniewski, director of integrated marketing for Instinct Pet Food, a brand of St. Louis-based Natures Variety.
The two best-selling recipes in the Stella & Chewys frozen raw Dinner Patties for Dogs line, Stellas Super Beef and Chewys Chicken, are now available in a 12-pound value pack, said Lee Hessenthaler, director of marketing for the Oak Creek, Wis., company.
The new value pack uses the same ingredients as the 6-pound packages and features 95 percent meat, organs and ground bone, Hessenthaler said.
Each pack includes 24 8-ounce patties, offering an option to pet owners with large-breed dogs or multidog households.
Providing a solution to thoseseeking nontraditional proteins for their dogs, the Wild Boar recipe recently joined the Stella & Chewys lineup of frozen raw exotic proteins. The recipe is available in both 6-pound Dinner Patties and 4-pound Dinner Morsels, Hessenthaler said.
Sifting through available dog food options is often overwhelming to pet owners, said Bette Schubert, co-founder and senior vice president of sales for Bravo Pet Foods in Manchester, Conn.
They may hear or read something that piques their interest but need knowledgeable, informed help in the decision-making process, she said.That assistance typically falls to the retailer, who has day-to-day contactwith the consumer.
A sales team able to discuss the features and benefits of a raw product,and distinguish between the various brands and choices, will serve to buildcustomer trust and loyalty, Schubert added.
When it comes to raw diets, education is key, said Samantha Cohen, vendor relations manager and corporate buyer for Woof Gang Bakery, a chain with headquarters in Orlando, Fla. All of our franchise owners are able to discuss the nutritional benefits of raw food, and describe how it is safely packed and handled in the high-pressure pasteurization process.
Education and expertise are fundamental in addressing misconceptions regarding feeding frozen raw.
Not everybody is ready to do raw food; theres a lot of misunderstanding and resistance, said Julie Paez, co-owner of The Big Bad Woof in Washington, D.C. Consumers fear salmonella, and Ive even heard, Its going to turn my dog into a wild animal, and hell eat the cat. However, acceptance can just be a matter of a pet owner reaching a point where all avenues have been exhausted and they are now open to trying raw.
For these reasons, a personal understanding of feeding a frozen raw diet can help in assisting consumers with dietary selections, Paez said.
Approximately 60 percent of staffers at The Big Bad Woof feed frozen raw to their own pets, so they understand it, she said.
To forge a mastery of the pros and cons of raw versus processed diets, staffers participate in training programs provided by various raw food manufacturers.
This type of instruction is critical to ensuring our staff is getting that block of knowledge and information, said Pennye Jones-Napier, co-owner of The Big Bad Woof. Not just through the manufacturer, but also through our staff meetings.
Consumers are paying attention to ingredients and, in turn, are looking for retailers and associates who can speak to whats important to them, said Shelby Wisniewski, director of integrated marketing for Instinct Pet Food, a brand of St. Louis-based Natures Variety.
Asking the right questions and offering the right information is important when guiding pet parents to frozen raw, she said.
In marketing and merchandising frozen raw dog food, retailers can endeavor to tell a story by building the category and presenting multiple brands that will speak to the consumer in a clear, direct manner, said Kyle Frautnick, marketing director for Primal Pet Foods in Fairfield, Calif.
Many retailers choose to merchandise products in an entire made in the USA section, Frautnick said. This helps the customer find the products they are looking for.
Shopping local is high on the agenda for shoppers at The Quirky Pet in Montpelier, Vt., said owner Cindra Conison. For this reason, Vermont Raw Pet Food, which offers ground chubs of chicken and turkey, has a loyal following.
And, of course, made in the USA is essential here, she said.
Embracing the category also contributes to sales success.
Our most successful retailers practice what they preach, said Justin Magnuson, vice president of sales and marketing for Raw Bistro Pet Fare in Cannon Falls, Minn. Retailers are on the front line, and if they are familiar with the product and feeding raw at home, they can speak knowledgeably about how to thaw it in the fridge, how easy it is to portion and how their own dogsrespond. Thats what gets customers intrigued and buying.
Discussing mealtime options is another strategy for encouraging customers to try frozen raw dog food, Magnuson said. For example, suggesting frozen raw as a topper or for one meal per day could be a viable alternative for those who dont want to go all in feeding raw.
Because frozen products cannot be placed on an endcap or floor display, retailers can attract customer attention with in-store signage, said Bette Schubert, co-founder and senior vice president of sales for Bravo Pet Foodsin Manchester, Conn.
Further, an upgrade from older, freestanding freezers to glass-front units will allow customers to easily browseand quickly find the products theyare seeking.
The newer freezers not only offer increased storage capacity, but tell the customer the store is serious about its commitment to raw diets and healthful pet foods, Schubert said.
As of 2016, Woof Gang Bakery ensures that all new locations receive glass-front freezers to display raw products.
This has been an integral step to opening a dialogue about frozen raw foods with our customers, saidSamantha Cohen, vendor relationsmanager and corporate buyer for the Orlando, Fla.-based chain.
As the whole-food movement enters mealtime mainstream, consumers arerenouncing processed and refined selections in favor of organic, grass-fed and free-range alternatives, and revisiting the sustenance of past generations, said Justin Magnuson, vice president of sales and marketing for Raw Bistro Pet Fare in Cannon Falls, Minn.
Ancestral, paleo, Zoneall of these diets influence how we, as people, eat, Magnuson said. So it is only natural that we start to question the lifeless, kibble mono-diet weve been scooping into our pets dishes. Our dogs deserve 100 percent grass-fed, free-range and organic, too.
Pet owners electing for an ancestral or paleo diet for themselves are more in tune with what constitutes proper nutrition for their pets, said Kyle Frautnick, marketing director for Primal Pet Foods in Fairfield, Calif. Further, as theseconsumers continue to research their own nourishment, they often will research advantageous food options for their pets.
An ingredient panel offering whole food ingredients and no synthetics speaks to these customers, Frautnick said.
The ancestral diet movement is the cornerstone of raw diets, and with the return to a more basic diet, were going to see a surge in the popularity of raw feeding, said Bette Schubert, co-founder and senior vice president of sales for Bravo Pet Foods in Manchester, Conn.
After all, it doesnt get more natural than feeding our dogs all of the essentialsmeat, bone, organswithout all of the things they dont needgrains, fillers, low-grade meal, artificial preservatives and flavorings, she said.
Julie Paez, co-owner of The Big Bad Woof in Washington, D.C., noted anescalating call for frozen raw dog foods.
We have 13 freezer doors and are realizing its still not enough, she said. We are trying to figure out how to add more doors.
Consumers today are more aware than ever before of what they are feeding their pets, said Shelby Wisniewski, director of integrated marketing for Instinct Pet Food, a brand of Natures Variety in St. Louis. They are lookingfor minimally processed foods, and raw offers that, as well as an inherently pure ingredient listing.

TOPS program promotes losing weight safely, sensibly – WRAL.com
Raleigh, N.C. Many people dealing with obesity are turning to weight loss surgery. However, the original non-commercial weight loss support organization in the country, called TOPS, still preaches exercise and eating sensibly.
TOPS stands for "Taking Off Pounds Sensibly. A group of TOPS participants met in Raleigh recently to cheer each other on.
Lou Bond, 65, of Hickory is now wearing a crown and title, State TOPS Queen, for losing the most weight toward her goal.
Many people who have tried dieting are familiar with success, followed by discouraging failure.
"I tried all kinds of stuff. Went on Weight Watchers, did this, did that, Bond said."Lost a whole bunch of weight one time and gained it all back,and more."
TOPS participants join a group near where they live for support and ideas. No specific diet is preached.
"They figure that people are adults and they know what will work for them and what won't," Bond said.
Bond said drinking plenty of water and keeping a daily food diary were important for her success, losing 130 pounds. She also said thesupportof herchapter was crucial.
"The support you get from TOPS - there's no way you could do it without that," Bond said.
State TOPS King, George Smith of Fayetteville, got to the point where he couldn't bend over to tie his own shoes and he was constantly out of breath
"I had to lose 27 pounds which is insignificant to some, but still - it was hard," Smith said.
Both never expected to win this type of attention at TOPS annual state celebration.
"I think my chapter mates are more excited than I am, you know. That's kind of nice," Bond said.
A lifestyle change may not help you to lose weight as quickly, but if you find a food and exercise plan that fits your life, you are more likely to continue it for a lifetime.
Nutritionists encourage the concept of a three-day nutrition planner to get an idea of what patients are eating.
Other tips include emphasizing plant-based food in your diet and substituting sodawithwater.
Be sure to check with your doctor before starting any formal weight loss program.

Contrave diet pill: Is it safe? – Wink News
FORT MYERS, Fla. (CONSUMER REPORTS) A drug that safely melts the pounds away would be a dream come true, but our analysis shows that the prescription weight loss pill Contrave is not that miracle drug.
In three clinical trials, people who took Contrave up to 56 weeks lost only five to nine pounds more on average than those who took a placebo. And Contrave can cause serious side effects, such as liver damage, seizures, and possible heart risks. Thats why Consumer Reports medical advisers say most people should skip it: such a small amount of weight loss is not worth the risk of those possible side effects.
Contrave is actually two older drugs, combined: the antidepressant bupropion (Wellbutrin and generic), and the addiction-treatment drug, naltrexone (ReVia and generic). We took a closer look at Contrave because as part of our Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs program, we routinely review the safety and efficacy of weight-loss drugs, and wanted to check how well Contrave measured up on both of thoseor didnt.
To do that, we worked with two drug safety expertsSteven Woloshin, M.D., and Lisa M. Schwartz, M.D., both at Dartmouth Colleges Geisel School of Medicine and the Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practiceto review the studies Contraves manufacturer, Orexigen Therapetutics, used to gain approval of the drug from the Food and Drug Administration. From there, they developed a Drug Facts Box for Contrave, which is a consumer-friendly translation of the drugs FDA-aproved drug label.
Heres what they found:
The FDA approved Contrave in late 2014 to be used along with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, in those people who are either obese or who are overweight and have another serious condition, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. The Contrave drug labelthe FDA-approved information about the drugdefines obese as having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or greater; and being overweight as having a BMI of 27 to 29.9.
Modest Benefits One of the largest clinical trials to date of Contrave shows obese and overweight people who took the drug for up to 56 weeks lost an average of 12 pounds (or about 5 percent of their body weight), compared with an average of 3 pounds (or 1 percent of their body weight) among those who took a placebo. Both groups were also put on a reduced calorie diet, exercised, and received behavioral counseling.
To put that into perspective, we estimated that a person weighing 220 pounds who takes Contrave for a year could expect to lose about 12 pounds total: 9 pounds from the drug itself and 3 pounds from diet and exercise.
In another study, obese and overweight people who took Contrave for up to a year shed an average of 18 pounds (or 8 percent of their body weight) while the placebo group lost 11 pounds (5 percent of their body weight). Both groups were also put on a reduced calorie diet, exercised, and received behavioral counseling. The result is that Contrave contributed to losing an additional 7 pounds.
And the findings were even less impressive for people who had diabetes. Overweight people with that disorder who took Contrave for up to a year dropped an average of 9 pounds or 4 percent of their body weight, while those who took a placebo lost 4 pounds, or 2 percent of their body weight. In that case, Contrave helped people lose only 5 additional pounds.
Also, not everyone who takes Contrave will experience meaningful weight loss: In one trial, about 42 percent of people who took Contrave lost 5 percent or more of their weight compared to 17 percent of those who took a placebo.
Serious Risks The studies show that Contrave caused many people to feel sick, says Schwartz. Nearly 1 in 4 people in the clinical trials stopped taking the prescription weight loss pill because they couldnt tolerate the common side effects, including nausea, headache, and vomiting.
Contrave can also cause increased blood pressure, anxiety, and insomnia. Other side effects include constipation and dizziness.
Like other drugs that contain the antidepressant bupropion, Contrave carries a black-box warningthe strongest type issued by the FDA. Although Contrave is not intended for those under the age of 18, the warning states that the drug can, in rare instances, increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in adolescents and young adults. It could also cause mania and depression to return in people who have previously suffered from those conditions. Other rare but serious side effects include seizures and a condition where eye pressure rises rapidly (angle-closure glaucoma).
The FDA was particularly concerned that Contrave might also raise the risk of heart problems, such as heart attack and stroke, so it required the manufacturer, Orexigen, to conduct a clinical trial to figure out if the drug is safe for the heart. But Orexigen has started and stopped two heart trials before they were finished. Now, the company says it plans to launch a third trial, but the results arent expected to be available until 2021.
In the meantime, the FDA still approved the drug without requiring the trial be completed, so Contrave remains available in the U.S. while its effect on the heart is still being investigated. In a statement to Consumer Reports, Orexigen Therapeutics, said preliminary data from its first heart risk trial provide valuable information and support our confidence in the overall safety for Contrave.
However, the FDA told us that Contraves heart risks remain unknown. Eric Pahon, a spokesman for the FDA, said it was premature to draw any conclusions from Contraves first heart trial, so determining whether Contrave poses a risk to the heart will require completing the new study.
Steven Nissen, M.D., chair of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, who led one of the trials, agrees with the FDA. We dont have a definitive answer about the safety of this drug and we wont have one for a very long time, he says.
Bottom Line Weve previously advised against the use of weight loss medications, such as Alli or Xenical, Belviq, Qsymia, and Saxendaand now Contrave joins that listbecause they dont help most people lose much, if any, weight, and they all carry potentially serious risks. For most people, the limited benefit of Contrave isnt worth the risk of side effects or unknown heart risks, so our medical advisers recommend skipping it.
To be sure, our analysis suggests that Contrave can help people lose a meaningful amount of weight, if they are able to tolerate it and stick with an exercise and reduced-calorie diet over the course of a year. But they would also expose themselves to the serious risks of the drug. Instead, CR medical advisers say lose weight the safer wayby eating less and exercising.
If youve been unable to lose weight on your own, ask your doctor about intensive behavioral programs that have at least 12 sessions a year and include multiple strategies to help you switch to healthier diets and increase physical activity. Such programs can lead to an average weight loss of 9 to 15 pounds (or 6 percent of body weight) in the first year, according to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
Also good to know: If you still decide to try Contrave, and havent dropped at least 5 percent of your weight after three months of taking the drug at the target dose, you should stop taking it because its unlikely that you ever will, according to information on Contraves drug label.

Dieters Can Eat Carbs Without the Added Pounds, Thanks to Diet Doc’s New CarbZap Formula – Marketwired (press release)
SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - April 28, 2017) - Carbohydrates are often viewed as an enemy of weight loss. Given how effective the South Beach Diet, Atkins diet and keto diet have been for many people, maintaining a low-carb diet has become a popular, go-to way of losing a few pounds. Carbs however, are a necessary aspect of our diet. They provide much needed fuel for energy and muscle growth. Healthier carb-laden food options also carry necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Diet Doc, a leader in the medical weight loss industry has created a powerful new prescription that allows dieters to eat carbs without the guilt or added pounds. CarbZap is a starch and carb blocker that excretes excess carbs from the body, rather than converting them into fat. By using CarbZap, caloric restriction is not necessary for weight loss (good news dieters). This helps to eliminate the fatigue, incessant hunger, cravings, and decreased physical activity that plague low-calorie dieting plans.
For those who regularly maintain carb-restricted diets, these carb blocker supplements can be particularly useful to boost the digestion and elimination of carbs during those occasional 'cheat days' when taken before carb laden meals. Adding this carb blocker to your diet plan will also allow you to enjoy the many health benefits of low-calorie consumption, such as better regulated blood sugar, metabolic syndrome, and quick weight loss. Diet Doc patients have incorporated our CarbZap carb-blocking pills into their medical weight loss programs with great success. CarbZap reduces body weight at an average of four pounds per month, and helps shrink that hard-to-eliminate abdominal fat that troubles many dieters.
Diet Doc's CarbZap prescription is carefully formulated in-house to help boost your weight loss results safely and quickly. Before prescribing our CarbZap carb blockers, we review all prior health history to create a personalized medical weight loss plan for fast weight loss, long-term weight management, and negated carbohydrate overload. New Diet Doc patients can call or easily and effortlessly visit https://www.dietdoc.com to complete an initial comprehensive, yet simple, health questionnaire and schedule an immediate personal, no-cost consultation. Diet Doc Physicians all received specialized training in nutritional science and fast weight loss. Diet Doc reviews each patient's health history to create a personalized diet plan geared for fast weight loss, or that addresses life-long issues causing weight loss to slow down or stop. Nutritionists work personally with each patient and use their own algorithm to craft meal and snack plans that are compatible with each patient's age, gender, activity level, food preferences, nutritional needs and medical conditions. They combine these state of the art diet plans with pure, prescription diet products that enable their patients to resist the temptation to reach for sugary snacks, eliminate fatigue and curb the appetite. Over 97% of Diet Doc patients report incredible weight loss results with the majority losing 20 or more pounds per month.
At Diet Doc, all patients gain unlimited access to the best minds in the business. Their staff of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and coaches are available 6 days per week to answer questions, offer suggestions, address concerns and lend their professional guidance and support. Because of this, more and more people are turning to Diet Doc for their weight management needs. Diet plans are tailored to be specific to the needs of those of any age, gender, shape or size and for those who are struggling to lose that final 10-20 pounds to those who must lose 100 pounds or more. Call today to request a private, confidential, no-cost online consultation.

Liam Smith and Liam Williams set for rematch – Boxing News Online
Dont miss any action. Sign up for the free BN newsletter(s) here
LIAM SMITH and Liam Williams will meet in a highly-anticipated rematch in September, according to promoter Frank Warren.
Liverpools Smith handed Williams his first professional loss earlier this month when the Welshman was pulled out by his trainer after sustaining a horrific cut.
Given the ferocity of the clash, which saw Smith come on strong in the later rounds after Williams had bossed the earlier sessions, and the controversial finish, both fighters and fans have called for a rematch, which looks set to go ahead.
Ive spoken to them, they both want it and were confident it will happen in September, Warren told Boxing News.
That gives them plenty of time to recover from the cuts and injuries from the first fight, they both need to be 100 per cent for a rematch.
There was drama before the first bell too when Smith failed to make weight a day before the clash. When he initially weighed in heavy, he was wrongfully told he only had one hour to shift almost two pounds. Deeming that insufficient time to safely lose the weight, Smith and his team felt he could not do it. However, per the WBO rules whose Interim world title was on the line fighters have two hours to lose any excess poundage before attempting to weigh in again. Smith was only informed of this when it was too late, and so he couldnt successfully weigh in again, thus meaning he could not win the WBO title.
Im hoping, at worst, the rematch is for an interim world title, Warren continued.
Firstly at the weigh-in Smith was meant to have two hours but was only told he had one and then there was the cut that stopped it, so well get it done again to see who the best man really is.
Had Smith made weight, he would now be in prime position to once again become world champion. Canelo Alvarez, who took the WBO world title from Smith last year, recently confirmed he would not be returning to 154lbs, meaning an Interim champion would likely have been elevated to full champion.
Besides Smith-Williams II, Warren also confirmed that British super-lightweight champion Tyrone Nurse will fight highly-touted mandatory challenger Jack Catterall later this year.
Catterall against Tyrone Nurse will also happen in the summer, so were making the fights the fans want to see, he said.
This past weekend, Tommy Langford was stopped by Avtandil Khurtsidze in Leicester in the main event of a Queensbury show broadcast on BT Sport and BoxNation. Going up against a Matchroom show in Liverpool on Sky Sports, Warren is very pleased with how things went.
Obviously Im disappointed with the Tommy Langford result but other than that it was an excellent show with good matches, he said.
I was extremely pleased with all the performances from our guys. I thought Lyon Woodstock was outstanding, I think hell be a big star. Anthony Yarde was punch perfect, he was calm, collected, hes got fast hands. Daniel Dubois did what he had to do, it was a decent opponent for him and he handled it well, he showed great hand speed.
I thought the [Darryll] Williams fight [against Jahmaine Smyle] was a great fight, a candidate for domestic fight of the year. I was pleased that in the ratings, BT beat Sky. As I said, with a level playing field itll be interesting, and thats without the tens of thousands of fans who tuned in on BoxNation as well.
