  • Chris Eubank Jr tipped the scales at 159.1lbs as he made the middleweight limit of 160lbs for his rematch with Conor Benn on Saturday night.
  • Benn was slightly heavier than his rival as he weighed in at 159.3lbs ahead of his shot at revenge after losing to Eubank Jr on points in April.
  • Eubank Jr missed the weight by 0.05lbs ahead of their first fight and was forced to pay a fine of £375,000 ($500,000) to Benn.
  • He made the weight this time to avoid a repeat fine heading into Saturday’s fight at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
  • The ceremonial weigh-in for the rematch will take place on Friday evening.
