The anticipation is high for the upcoming main event at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on April 26th. Both Conor Benn and Chris Eubank Jr stepped onto the scales ahead of their highly awaited bout. They are also scheduled for a ceremonial weigh-in later tonight as part of the Ring Magazine-promoted event.
Conor Benn had no issues, weighing in at a comfortable 156.4 pounds, well below the contracted weight limit of 160 pounds. However, things were more complicated for Chris Eubank Jr.
Eubank Jr arrived late for the official weigh-in, leading to some speculation. When he finally made it, he initially registered 160.2 pounds, just slightly over the agreed limit. Despite efforts, he could only reduce his weight to 160.05 pounds, resulting in a significant fine of $500,000.
Eubank Jr`s weight challenges persist; he must also adhere to a limit of 170 pounds for a second weigh-in scheduled for the day of the fight.
