PBC has completely overhauled Saturday's three-fight PBC on Fox telecast over the last few days, but the show will go on in Newark, New Jersey now that the weigh-in is complete. Heavyweight Gerald Washington tested positive for the coronavirus test, and could not fight Michael Coffie as scheduled. Instead Coffie (271.3 pounds) will face Jonathan Rice (13-6-1) who weighed in at 268.6. James Martin showed up at 151.5 pounds for what was supposed to be a welterweight rematch against Vito Mielnicki Jr. Instead, Martin will fight junior middleweight Joey Spencer (156.5) in the broadcast opener. Spencer was supposed to fight Dan Karpency, who is off the show for an unspecified reason. As for Mielnicki, he weighed in at 147 and will face Noah Kidd (6-3-2), who was pulled from an undercard bout. Kidd weighed in at 144.6. For the post-main event FS1 broadcast, Andre Dirrell weighed in at 175.5 for his bout against Christopher Brooker, who came in bang on the light heavyweight limit of 175 pounds.
