Liam Smith was involved in an ice cold final face-off with Hassan Mwakinyo after the pair weighed in ahead of their clash tomorrow night.
Mwakinyo cut an imposing figure on the scales as he weighed in at 11st 1lbs, while Smith came in at 11st 5lbs 5oz ahead of the bout at the M&S Bank Arena. Smith, highly ranked with major sanctioning bodies the WBC, WBO and the WBA, is well positioned for a world title shot should he overcome 'Tornado' Mwakinyo on Saturday night.
The 34-year-old is riding the momentum of impressive wins over Anthony Fowler and, most recently, Jessie Vargas in New York, having been dealt a setback in defeat to Magomed Kurbanov in Russia back in May 2012. And after the two glared into one another's eyes during a long face-off, Smith explained why he was full of confidence ahead of the fight.
