Weights From London: Tete 114 Lbs, Butler 115 Lbs

After a five-month delay, Zolani Tete and Paul Butler are ready to throw down. Both fighters made weight for their 115 lb. title fight, which takes place Friday evening in London, England.

Tete tipped the scales at a lean and cut 114 lbs, while Butler came in right at the junior bantamweight limit of 115 lbs.

The bout was originally scheduled for last October, but postponed after Tete suffered an untimely injury during training camp. 

Tete (19-3, 16KOs) attempts the first defense of the title he won in vacant capacity last July, having traveled to Japan to take a 12-round decision over previously unbeaten Teiru Kinoshita. The rail thin South African banger is no stranger to fighting in hostile territory; Friday's title clash marks his fifth road trip in his last seven fights. 

Butler (17-0, 8KOs) looks to become just the second ever British boxer to move down in weight to win a title after having reigned at a higher weight class. More than 100 years after Bob Fitzsimmons won the middleweight, heavyweight and light heavyweight championships (in that order), Butler goes after a junior bantamweight title after having won - and subsequently vacated - a bantamweight title last summer.

The bout headlines live at ExCel Arena in London, and airs live on BoxNation TV in the United Kingdom.
