Benn, who is moving up to middleweight after spending most of his career fighting at the welterweight limit of 147 pounds, easily made weight, stepping on the scale at 156.4 pounds. The two fighters will face off one more time at the ceremonial weigh-in later on Friday ahead of their grudge match on Saturday at Tottenham Stadium.

Now, the attention turns to the second-day weigh-in, which will be on Saturday morning. Neither fighter can rehydrate more than 10 pounds from what they stepped on the scale at for the morning weigh-in. Because of the rehydration clause, Eubank Jr. can't weigh more than 170.05 pounds, which figures to be a difficult task after missing weight.
