Promoter Gary Shaw has just informed BoxingScene.com that Nate Campbell has failed to make weight, for the second time, for tomorrow's mandatory�bout with Ali Funeka. Campbell hit the scales two hours ago and weighed 138-pounds, three pounds over the lightweight limit of 135-pounds. He was given two hours to make good and came in at 137 1/2 on the second try. The fight is still going forward. Because Campbell failed to make weight, the IBF/WBO lightweight titles are only at stake�for Funeka. If Campbell wins the fight, both titles will be declared vacant.

In other weights already reported by Mark Vester

WBC interim-junior welterweight champion Sergio Martinez was 153.25, and opponent Kermit Cintron was a bit over at 154.25. Cintron made the weight shortly after.

Undefeated junior middleweight prospect Alfredo Angulo was 153.5 and Cosme Rivera weighed-in at 151.5.
