(NOV 30) Tonight in at the Jean Pierre Complex, in Trinidad and Tabago, Gisselle Salandy, of Trinidad, will be fighting Dakota Stone, of the United States. The two were set to fight on September 30th, when Salandy entered the ring as Stone waited to fight her, and cancelled out at that time. At the weigh-in the two weighed in on a bathroom scale (not calibrated), with Stone weighing in at 151, and Salandy, 150 lbs.

According to the Trinidad Express News, the members of the Trinidad and Tobago Boxing Board, and the media had to wait for nearly three hours for the weigh-in to take place, and it took one minute to weigh the boxers.

Melchoir Taylor, chairman of the Trinidad and Tobago Boxing Board, was demanding an apology from promoter Buxo Potts in regards to this incident.

To add insult to injury, Potts did not even have the hotel booked to hold the weigh-in, and the Trinidad Express wrote, "After his late arrival, Potts was pleading with hotel management to be allowed to hold the weigh-in there, while Taylor and others complained of the disrespect shown to the Boxing Board, all hoping that tonight's fight comes off without a hitch."
