Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn Weigh-In Result Leaves Boxing World Stunned

Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn have stunned boxing fans after the official weigh-in result emerged for their blockbuster rematch.

Eubank Jr. and Benn run it back on Saturday following their battle in April.

They lit up the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as 'Next Gen' secured a unanimous decision victory.

Eubank Jr. and Benn renewed hostilities at Thursday's pre-fight press conference, where Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn stole the show.

The British stars will go face-to-face for a final time before fight night at Friday's ceremonial weigh-ins.

Eubank Jr. and Benn weighed in on Friday afternoon, with both fighters successfully making weight.

But the result of the weigh-ins shocked boxing fans on social media.

Eubank Jr. came in lighter than Benn, tipping the scales at 159.1lbs. As for Benn, he scaled 159.3lbs - almost 3lbs heavier than what he weighed for the first fight.

Eubank Jr. missed weight in their first fight after weighing in at 160.2lbs - 0.2lbs over the 160lbs limit.

But he made weight on fight day as part of the rehydration clause, weighing in at 169.4lbs.

Naturally, the weights from Friday's official weigh-ins got people online talking.

One X user wrote: "Wow, Conor is coming into the fight slightly heavier than Chris. All talk of weight is now over; let's them touch gloves and fight."

A second claimed: "Prepared properly, Benn is big trouble."

A third added: "How the hell has Eubank come in lighter than Benn," while another commented: "Benn weighing less than Eubank is crazy."

Is there a rehydration clause?

Eubank Jr. has avoided a huge fine after coming under the 160lbs limit at Friday's official weigh-ins.

But he still faces another challenge before entering the ring against Benn on Saturday.

A rehydration clause has been placed in their agreement which means neither fighter can be more than 10lbs over the limit on the morning of the fight.

Benn's team feel the rehydration clause allows for a more level playing field given he has moved up two weight classes to face his rival.

So, Eubank Jr. and Benn have to weigh less than 170lbs on Saturday morning.

What happens if they miss weight on Saturday?

Eubank Jr. was hit with a hefty £500,000 fine for failing to make weight in their first fight.

But he has made the necessary steps this time around, having made weight at Friday's official weigh-ins.

However, Eubank Jr. faces a sanction if he comes in overweight at Saturday's weigh-in. As does Benn.

A fine would be issued if either fighter weighs more than 170lbs.

In the absolute worst case scenario, the bout could be scrapped if either fighter misses weight. But given the build-up and the fight being a pay-per-view event, the cancellation of Eubank Jr. vs. Benn would be very unlikely.
