Tickets are still available for tonight's "International Warfare," the World Kickboxing Association bout between Lockport's Amer Abdallah and the UK's James Wallis.

Ed Rodger, left, and Andre Carroll had words Friday night at the weigh-in for their bout tonight.

The pair faced off Friday night at Lock 34 for official weigh-ins for tonight's fight, find a bit of controversy when Wallis weighed in at 195 for the Cruiserweight bout, six pounds over the upper limit. Abdallah's weight of 184 was well within the guidelines.

After a brief discussion, the pair came to terms and decided to continue with tonight's main event, to be held at the Kenan Center Arena.

The card also includes Lockport's Joe "Son of a Legend" Taylor, Luay “Arabian Nightmare” Ashkar, Kendrick Huston, Eric Pulmeri, Andre Carroll, Lockport High School senior Tyler Rodier, Sweet Home junior Brandon Freiburger, Ed Rodgers, Dylan Sullivan, and women’s kickboxer, Damiana Andrello of Syracuse.

The weight controversy wasn't the only row Friday night as Rodgers and Carroll had words after their official weigh-ins. The pair of heavyweights have a pronounced dislike for one another.

Tickets for the “International Warfare” event, presented by Lace Up Promotions, are available on ticketfly.com. General admission seating is $25. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the opening bell at 7.

Joe "Son of  a Legend" Taylor will be one of the featured fighters at "International Warfare," tonight at the Kenan Center Arena.
