Eubank and Benn both make weight for rematch

Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn both successfully hit the scales for their rematch set to occur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this Saturday.

Eubank had previously missed the middleweight threshold by 0.05lb and faced a £375,000 penalty ahead of their fight in April, but there were no issues this time.

The 36-year-old, who secured an exciting points victory over Benn in their initial encounter, checked in at 11st 5lb (72kg).

Benn, 29, who primarily fights at welterweight, also weighed in at 11st 5lb (72kg). The weigh-in occurred privately in London.

Both boxers are subject to a rehydration limit which restricts them from exceeding 12st 1lb (77kg) by Saturday morning.

A ceremonial weigh-in, open to the public, will take place at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Friday evening.

Similar to their bout in April, there is a rehydration stipulation which both boxers must comply with – indicating neither can gain more than 10lb between the weigh-in on Friday and Saturday morning.

Benn’s camp believes the rehydration clause creates a more equitable competitive environment.

The weight difference, with Benn moving up two weight classes for this match, has been a point of discussion during the lead-up to both contests.

Previously, Eubank missed the middleweight cap of 11st 6lb by 0.05lb at the weigh-in in April, but he comfortably stayed under the rehydration limit the following day.

Typically, fighters lose fat throughout their training camp to get close to the designated weight limit.

Before the weigh-in, held a day before the fight, they may dehydrate to shed the last bit of weight.

Dehydrating close to the fight enables them to replenish with food and fluids more efficiently.

Eubank mentions that he usually gains around 14lb after a weigh-in.
