IBF bantamweight titleholder Joseph "King Kong" Agbeko and unbeaten WBC Silver champion Abner Mares participated in a Media Workout Wednesday at The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

This Saturday, Aug. 13, at The Hard Rock, Agbeko will defend against Mares in The Bantamweight Tournament Final: Winner Takes All live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast).

Agbeko commented during the working. "I have trained for nine weeks and my camp was excellent. At no point did I feel weak and now it is all behind my and I am focusing on Mares.

"There is no way I am going to lose this fight. I don’t watch a lot of tape on my future opponents and I have only seen a few rounds of Mares’ fight against Yonnhy Perez, but I know he is a very good, fast, aggressive fighter with a big future in this sport.
