Tomorrow night at the Bartow Arena in Birmingham, AL Fred Weaver (2-3-0) will enter the MMA ring to face Anthony Stewart (6-4-2) as part of The Night Of The Assassin event being held by Round 1 Boxing.
In a unique move, local straight-edge hardcore band No Cure has sponsored Weaver, who is also a straight-edge athlete. The band's logo will be visible on Weaver's shorts, which you can view below.
No Cure guitarist Aesop Mongo stated:
Me and Fred know each other from both hanging out at Good Neighbor Tattoo in Birmingham. I heard he was looking sponsors for his upcoming fight, and I thought it would be sick to be one through No Cure.
Fighter Fred Weaver added:
Hardcore and fighting have both played major roles in my life, and I'm excited to bring them together like this.
Thank you to No Cure for being Straight Edge and mean. Thank you Birmingham for always supporting me. Come watch me give a grown ass man a concussion Saturday night.
The band shared the news on social media earlier today:
We are proud to sponsor straight-edge boxer Fred X Weaver from Birmingham, Alabama for his fight tomorrow. May his enemies be crushed.
