Greg Hardy weighs in 94lb heavier than boxing rival Hasim Rahman Jr

Greg Hardy has weighed in 94lb heavier than boxing rival Hasim Rahman Jr after taking a short-notice fight with the 12-1 fighter.

The former UFC and NFL star was drafted in at late notice to face heavyweight prospect Rahman Jr at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas this weekend, and tipped the scales at 320lb. Rahman Jr was due to face former light-heavyweight UFC champion Vitor Belfort before the Brazilian tested positive for covid, and came in at 226lb for the bout.

Hardy towered over his heavyweight rival at today's weigh-in for their co-main event fight at Misfits Boxing's American debut, with a six-inch height difference between the pair. Their weight discrepancy was massive with Hardy, who struggled to make the UFC's 265lb limit during his MMA days, coming in 54lb heavier than his last octagon outing.
