Chris Eubank Jr weighs in for Conor Benn fight desite bout being cancelled

Chris Eubank Jr weighed in under the middleweight limit of 160lb for his postponed fight with Conor Benn.

Eubank Jr and Benn were due to meet in London tonight at a catchweight of 157lb but the bout was cancelled two days ago after Benn failed a drugs test. Had the fight gone ahead, the rivals would have been required to weigh in again today - with a strict rehydration clause in place.

It was never revealed how much weight Eubank Jr and Benn were allowed to add overnight but promoter Eddie Hearn had said it was around 10lb. And Eubank Jr weighed in well under that limit when he posted a video of himself scaling 159.3lb while saying: "I said I was going to be on weight on Saturday, so I made the weight."
