Chris Eubank Jr has made weight ahead of his rematch with Conor Benn, but is lighter than his rival before Saturday’s bout at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

A ceremonial weigh-in will occur at York Hall on Friday night, but earlier this afternoon, the sons of Chris Eubank Sr and Nigel Benn tipped the scales in London.

Eubank Jr weighed in 159.1lbs (11st 5lb) to comfortably make the 160lbs middleweight limit while Benn, previously a welterweight, surprisingly came in slightly heavier at 159.3lbs (11st 5lb).

It is in stark contrast to the previous fight in April when Eubank Jr’s first attempt was 160.2lbs before a second of 160.5lbs confirmed that the 36-year-old from Brighton must pay the forfeit fee of £375,000 (500,000 US dollars) directly to Benn.

Benn subsequently spent the money on a Rolls-Royce luxury car but Eubank Jr ensured that history would not repeat itself as he made weight before the British pair have a final face-off at the historic venue of York Hall on Friday night.
