With all of the boxers doing their part at the scales, all of the drama will be saved for the ring. Vasilly Lomachenko and Luke Campbell both came well within the 135-pound lightweight limit for their three-belt unification bout, which takes place Saturday evening in front of a sold-out crowd at The O2 in London, England.
Ukraine's Lomachenko (13-1, 10KOs) checked in at 134.5 pounds in his bid to add a third lightweight title. A model of consistency, the pound-for-pound entrant has hit that exact mark for the fourth time in as many lightweight fights since moving up in weight last spring.
England's Campbell (20-2, 16KOs) weighed 134.25 pounds in his second bid at a major title, the same weight for his 12-round win over Yvan Mendy in their title eliminator last September. The 2012 Olympic Gold medalist came up just short in a Sept. 2017 split decision loss to then-titlist Jorge Linares.
