There was a bit of late drama at today’s weigh-in for Eddie Hearn’s O2 Arena show. Defending WBC lightweight champion Jorge Linares missed the division limit by 4ozs and was given just one an hour to get down to 135lbs or forfeit his WBC title. Kevin Mitchell, the challenger, hit the scales at 9st 8lbs 4ozs. Linares came back just over 10-minutes later and weighed in at 134.1lbs.
Both Lee Selby, 20-1 (8), and Evgeny Gradovich, 19-0-1 (8), hit their marks; Selby came in at 8st 13oz and Gradovich—the reigning IBF featherweight titlist—right at the 9st division limit. [Click Here To Read More]
