British boxer Chris Eubank Jr will be fined £375,500 after missing the weight by just 0.05lb (0.8 ounces) for Saturday’s fight with Conor Benn.
The fight, scheduled to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, is still set to take place, despite the news at Friday’s official weigh-in.
Both fighters agreed a rehydration clause and can add no more than 10lb before a weight check-in on Saturday morning.
