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).
